SOFTBALL ALL-REGION 2026: Congratulations to Meredith Whitehurst, Sienna Pender, Genevieve Whitehurst, Claire Duckworth, and Hailey McConchie for being named to this year’s exclusive 3A Metro Region Softball Teams. We are proud of you all!

Well call me a baseball coach because I couldn’t agree more!

Head coach Andy McIntire officially relegated to greatness after being voted the 2026 3A AZBCA Coach of the Year by his peers.

What an honor! Coach Mac is humble and didn’t want you to know he won this award! But his boss has spoken and now I hope you chime in below to let him know how much we love him!

In his first season at the helm, McIntire helped lead the Knights to 14 wins, a second-place finish in the 3A Metro Region, and a 13-4 conference record: but more importantly, helped build a culture players wanted to be part of.

Relationships. Accountability. Belief. Brotherhood.

Not a bad first chapter. ⚔️

Also please enjoy his theme song.

We love AMAC and NOODLE, too. .mcintire2 Absolute legends. Congrats!

Congratulations to BACK-TO-BACK STATE PAIRS CHAMPS Alexia Heyn and Lillie Duitsman. We are so proud of you, and how you represent our school with class.

One more year of sunsets for us and Lils (GCU commit). Album on Facebook. Love you girls! .heyn
