    ST. GEORGE — The Blue Ridge baseball team had lost by 14 runs to Grace Christian in 2024, but the Barons were altering their destiny in 2025’s matchup with the Warriors. Charlie Searby pitched against seven batters in last year’s game without recording an out, but threw three scoreless innings against Grace Christian this year.

    Blue Ridge is playing some of its best lacrosse at the right time. The Barons have won their last five games, with their last one being for the Blue Ridge Athletic Conference title. “We're starting to hit our stride now and it's nice,” Blue Ridge head coach Donny Moss said. “These games help, the preparation helps, the ability to hopefully get a first round bye helps.”The Barons are defending a state title and are currently ranked No. 2 in VISAA Division I with a win over No. 1 St. Anne’s-Belfield.
