STORY

The Crocus Plains baseball program began in 1998, when organized high school baseball in Manitoba was in its infancy. In that year, the team was not strong, but it was invited to be the host team from Brandon at the provincial high school championship. Early in the 2000s, coach Rick DeGagne and assistant coach Darren Hardy were able to recruit good players who had played for several years in Brandon Minor Baseball. By 2003, Crocus had a solid team. From 2003-2006, they won three of four provincial championships. They lost in the final in the other year. In 2005, the team was undefeated and won both the provincial championship and the championship of the newly-formed Prairie West High School League. Three players were a part of all four 2003-2006 teams, including Eric Truscott, Brent Perrin, and Brock DeGagne. Provincial all-star players over the years were Matt DeGagne, Keith VanWallegham, Zack McMillan, Carson McMillan, Kirk Graham, Eric Truscott, and Brent Perrin.
