SUMMARY: Morgan Craft, a junior at Picayune High School and a promising baseball and football athlete, suffered a significant setback during the 2023 baseball season after tearing his ACL and damaging his meniscus when fielding a routine popup. Despite the injury, he led the coast in hits and RBIs, batting .400, and played 12 more games before undergoing surgery.
