  Youngest Son Paints Lasting Picture
  
  And what a son he has turned out to be. The last of three brothers and a sister, James Edward McDonald III has been memorable from the start. Now, as the sun sets on the Chaparral baseball class of 2010, the diamond reflections are particularly poignant.

  Chaparral Ace Zeroes in on Playoffs
  
  A long time ago, one man who fancies himself as something of a baseball expert watched Konner Wade throw and exclaimed to anyone who would listen, "this kid is going places." And indeed he might. It has been evident for a long time, especially as Konner has grown into a 6-foot-4, 190-pound fireballer.

  No Challenge Too Great For Will Dyer
  
  Will Dyer, Chaparral baseball player through and through, has just one goal: To do all that his talent and determination allow to make the greatest contribution possible to his team. It is a goal that has made every Firebird team on which he has played far better than what otherwise might have been the case.

This year’s senior baseball class might not go down as one of the best in Arizona, but there’s plenty of time left to prove the scouts wrong.

If a player doesn’t plan on going to college, a great high school season can help a senior improve his draft status.

"I think it’s a pretty solid group of college position players," said Ron Benham, who runs azdiamondreport.com., about Arizona’s senior class. "You have a couple of guys who have a chance of being fairly high draft picks. There’s an arm or two who might go in the top 10 rounds, but that’s about it. It’s not a good year for pitching, and it’s a fairly decent year for position players." The Republic compiled a list of the top players in the state who are preparing for the first games of the season on Wednesday.

James McDonald, Sr., INF, Chaparral (Arizona State)
Nathan Sherman, Sr., C, Chaparral (University of Arizona)
Konner Wade, Sr., P, Chaparral (University of Arizona)
