Cousins Parker and Briar Persing Flourishing as High School Teammates
The Montgomery baseball team is off to a hot start this season, thanks in part to the dynamic duo of cousins Parker and Briar Persing. The two have been playing sports together since they were young, and now as high school teammates, they are making a big impact on the field.
In a recent game against Benton, Montgomery secured a dominant 12-0 victory in just 5 innings. Parker, a sophomore, is hitting an impressive .636 with seven RBIs, while Briar, a freshman, boasts a 3-0 record on the mound with 29 strikeouts in 13 innings. Briar even hit his first home run in the Benton game, showcasing his versatility as a player.
The Persing cousins have a strong family connection to the sport of baseball, with their fathers both being former players and coaches. This shared passion and determination have fueled their success on the field, and their chemistry as teammates is evident in their performance.
Montgomery’s pitching staff, which also includes Parker Bennett, has been stellar this season, allowing just two runs in four games. The team has shut out three opponents, showcasing their depth and talent on the mound.
As the season progresses, the Persing cousins and the rest of the Montgomery team will look to continue their winning ways and make a push for a successful playoff run. With their skill, determination, and brotherly bond, the future looks bright for this talented duo on the baseball field.
