2025 Program Preview: Foothill Falcons
February 18, 2025
The 2025 Nevada High School baseball season is quickly approaching and, as usual, excitement is abound throughout the state. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the upcoming season and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams throughout the Silver State.
Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons by raising the 2025 NIAA State Championship trophy, but there is plenty of work to be done before that becomes reality. We hope to familiarize our readers with many of the teams across the state as we preview individual teams throughout Nevada and will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Top 10 Rankings that’ll carry us into the opening week of action.
Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across the state. Each week we will be releasing our Players of the Week and updating the Top 10 Rankings.

TEAM OUTLOOK
Just a year off of raising the Class 4A State Chamionship trophy, this senior group has the playoff experience needed to make a deep playoff run this Spring. The eight seniors will be vital to this groups success with Arkansas-Pine Bluff signee, Tyler Straily, and Butte College recruit, Brayden Stidham, projected to be their "one, two punch" on the bump with Makoa Elliot and Matthew Szymarek expected to round out the rotation with a few more arms that could also make an impact as the season progresses.
Angelo, Scow, Sibal and Watson are going to be staples in the heart of the Falcon order that will lead their way on the offensive side of the ball with each of them consistently producing gritty at-bats that forces opposing pitchers to come with their best stuff.
This is easily one of the deepest senior cores in the state, but the key difference makers could be found in their underclass group lead by Las Vegas Preseason ID standout, Christian Conley, along with Will Gibson and Quinthus Mason.
Keep this Foothill Falcon group on your radar as a team that could make some serious noise this Spring.
