The Cabell Midland Knights are ushering in a new era under first-year head coach John Ashworth, but the team's legacy of toughness and a run-first mentality remains unchanged. Coach Ashworth, a seasoned member of the program, is ready to lead his players towards their ultimate goal: a state championship.

Despite losing key players, the Knights boast a formidable offensive line, anchored by returning seniors and talented newcomers. With Landon Nida, a two-time state champion in baseball, adding firepower to the backfield, the team is primed for another successful season.

A grueling schedule awaits, with seven straight games against playoff-caliber opponents. But Coach Ashworth and his squad are embracing the challenge, fueled by the desire to prove themselves and leave their mark on the program.
