East High School is proud to offer baseball. Iowa High School Athletic Association sanctions our high school sports for boys. Our teams compete in the Missouri River Conference. Through involvement in athletics, students learn valuable life skills, including teamwork, leadership, and commitment.
About the Program
The East High baseball program has a tradition of success. We have been building on this tradition of success and each season, we are focused on continuing this process. We not only aim for a strong postseason finish, but we also aim to build essential characteristics in our players, both on and off the baseball diamond. Through our baseball program, we are building young men of character, discipline, personal responsibility, and respect. These attributes are a large part of the foundation of the Black Raider baseball program, but even more essential for the development of our players for life after baseball.
