Most schools offer baseball, but few schools are as successful with it as Liberty-Eylau High School. In 2024, the team won the state championship. Senior Maddax Moore is an excellent team member as well as an excellent student.

“He was an integral part of winning the state championship,” said Ashley McCarter, a counselor at Liberty-Eylau. He and the team spent many days after school practicing until late in the evening, preparing for each of their games.

“[We] spend all year grinding ... to chase a state championship,” Maddax explained. Their hard work definitely paid off. “It was unreal,” Maddax said of winning the championship. “The amount of happiness I experienced that day is something I will never forget.”

Maddax said that juggling school and baseball can be challenging, but he has a good handle on it. “You miss more school during baseball season, which means more homework, but in the end, it’s worth it,” he said. Even with the extra strain of baseball, he has managed to earn the second-highest GPA in his class. “I didn’t focus on [class rank] as much at first, but now I wanna be first,” he said.

Baseball has been a big contributor to Maddax’s work ethic and philosophy on goal-setting. “Failure is a part of life, and it gives you a chance to learn from your mistakes and do better the next time you face a certain challenge,” he said. It’s that thought process that has gotten him so far in all he aims to achieve. Learning from failure, rather than cowering away from it, drastically improves a person’s drive, so it’s not surprising that Maddax has achieved so much. He’s always working to improve.

The atmosphere at Liberty-Eylau has most definitely contributed to learning such important lessons. “LE is a place where the whole community is together because everybody knows each other and we can get along easily,” Maddax said. Having a good school environment can make all the difference, and it’s great that Maddax has found a place where he can thrive. “I am very pleased with my decision to come to LE, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” he said.

Maddax was selected as pitcher for the 3A Division 1 Baseball All-Tournament Team for the 2024–2025 school year. submitted photo.

Maddax doesn’t just show up; he actively learns from everything he does. He’s extremely motivated, and his teammates and classmates are lucky to have him. Maddax Moore is an incredible student, with an ability to learn from all that he does. As he enters the second semester of his final year of high school, there’s no doubt that he will continue to achieve great things in both baseball and the classroom.
