Head coach Christian Colonel spoke to EastIdahoSports.com about Eddie’s importance to the Rams’ success, last season, saying Eddie’s high baseball IQ and ability to do a bit of everything have made him a staple on Highland’s varsity team since his freshman year.

The Three Rivers Raiders play in the Missouri Community College Athletic Conference (MCCAC), part of the NJCAA Region 16.

The Rams finished second, behind Madison, at the 2025 6A D4-5-6 tournament, earning a state super-regional spot. They were eliminated from the North Bracket, going 1-2 against Lake City and Coeur d’Alene at lake City High School.

Eddie and the Rams will open their season on March 11 against the Century Diamondbacks, looking to improve on that finish.
