In past seasons, Dublin High School has been a thorn in the side of Royals baseball. Not this year. Bleckley dominated the Irish, winning all three games. It was a point of pride for head coach Brad Davis, who pointed it out during his remarks at Tuesday's baseball awards banquet.

For the second straight season, Bleckley missed the state playoffs by one inning. However, they had an improved season overall. Their 13-11 record was their best since 2009. Bleckley also had two players of the year as part of all-region team selections.
