Graduated senior Tyler Teeples was the lone Greene County High School baseball player to be selected to a Heart of Iowa Activities Conference baseball all-conference team. The center fielder/pitcher/catcher was named to the second team outfield by coaches from conference schools. Senior Brent Riley and sophomore Bryce Stalder were chosen as honorable mention all-conference selections. All three were also the main pitchers for the 3-12 Rams, who lost seven straight games to begin the COVID-19 shortened season before putting together a better second half of the campaign.

Teeples batted .360 for the Rams (18 of 50) for a team with a composite .269 BA. Among his hits was one double. He scored 10 runs, and played multiple defensive positions. Stalder hit .380 (19 for 50) as he and Teeples combined for one-third of the Rams’ season hit total of 110. Stalder, a left-handed batter, had two doubles and a triple, and scored nine runs. Riley batted .212 with two doubles and was a leader defensively with just four errors at second base.
