Under the guidance of coach Seth Graham, the Falcons have left their mark, and it’s clear that the team is brimming with talent; among the stars are our two spotlight players.

Carter Durant truly shone during the season, earning himself an All-State title for his performance as a versatile second baseman. With an impressive batting average of .476 and a whopping 42 RBIs across 29 games, it’s safe to say he’s not just good; he’s exceptional! Durant displayed remarkable skill not just with his bat, but also when it came to being smart on the base paths. His .557 on-base percentage is a testament to his aggressive hitting style and keen eye for taking walks. Not just a one-trick pony, Durant has also shown he can handle multiple infield positions, making him a valuable asset for any team.

Brant Graham’s Pitching Prowess

Meanwhile, Brant Graham is primarily catching the eye of colleges due to his prowess on the pitching mound. With an eye-popping record of 6-1 and a glowing 1.53 ERA for the Falcons, Graham has made quite the name for himself this season. Notably, he has struck out triple the number of batters compared to walks he allowed, showing that he has both the control and the strikeout stuff that scouts drool over.

Summer Success and Future Prospects

Both players had their fair share of success while playing for the Rowan County American Legion team during the summer. With a teamwork mentality, this squad finished with a commendable record of 29-11 and even made it to the state tournament! Here, Durant continued his fiery hitting with a fantastic .397 batting average and 47 RBIs over 40 games. While he may not be a home run hitter just yet, those doubles keep racking up, showing his ability to drive in runs and keep the momentum alive.

As for Graham, he held his own during Legion play as well, boasting an impressive record of 6-1 and an astounding 0.77 ERA. Graham isn’t just a one-sport wonder; he’s also the starting quarterback for the West Rowan football team and has been a standout player in basketball, where he’s known for his scoring skills as a 6-foot-3 shooter. If he manages to stay healthy, the future looks bright for him in whichever sport he chooses to pursue.
