The 2024 Idaho high school baseball season is finally here and as usual, excitement is abound throughout the state. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the season and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams across Idaho.

Questionnaires were sent out to all Idaho High School coaches to provide insight on their programs. We hope to familiarize our readers with many of the teams across the state as we preview individual teams across Idaho. With the season already underway, our staff will look to provide some insight on how team's season have started, as well as their outlook the rest of the way.

High School: Centennial HS (Boise, ID)
Head Coach: Brian Champion
Classification: 5A
Conference: Southern Idaho Conference
2023 Record: 7-15
No. of Returning Starters: 4
No. of Returning Pitchers: 3

The Centennial Patriots are currently 3-3 on the season with wins over Vallivue and Canyon Ridge, along with losses to Meridian, Mountain View and Twin Falls. The team has showed well so far as they went down to the wire against Mountain View and Meridian, both being one run losses. The pitching staff has been a major bright spot so far as they've only allowed 16 runs in those six games. The team has shown they'll be a tough test in the 5A Southern Idaho Conference and with a strong crop of players in the junior class, the Patriots should be a fun to watch to over these next couple years.
