The 2007 Jaguars finished second in the District 15 (4A) and made it to the Regional Quarter finals. The Jaguars have set two goals for the upcoming season. First to win Districts and secondly to become State Champions. This team understands and has accepted the hard work and sacrifice that goes along with these aspirations.
The Jaguars expect to compete with intensity and sportsmanship while they win games. Our program has seen vast improvement and will continue to do so under the helpful hands of the Jaguar Baseball Booster Club parents, coaches and players, who all share the vision of having the best program in the state. We have several returning starters that we know will have a strong impact on our team this year. Robert Mesa, SR, Catcher, All Broward Second Team, outstanding defensive catcher and hitter, BA .347, 18 RBI and 6 HR. Shawn Negron, SR, LHP/1B, Broward Honorable Mention, excellent pitcher and hitter. He was 3-1 with 36 K's in 29 innings and BA .353, 15 RBI, 2 HR and 6 stolen bases. Anthony Bondarenko, SR, RHP/RF, strong defense in RF and a clutch hitter. He was 2-2 with an ERA of 2.63, BA .296 with 9 stolen bases. John Hollnagel, JR, RHP/1B. He was our closer with four saves with an ERA of 3.61 and displayed outstanding defense at 1B. Tyler Jacobs, JR, 2B/SS, BA . 297, 3 HR. He started the year as our ninth hitter and became our lead off hitter by the end of the season. Joshua Barrocas, JR, LF. He has one of the strongest work ethics on the team, BA .286, 16 RBI and 6 stolen bases.
