Lincolnview has won six straight Northwest Conference baseball championships and not surprisingly, the Lancers have dominated this year\u2019s all-conference honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not counting 2020, when COVID-19 led to all spring sports being canceled, a Lincolnview baseball player has won NWC Player of the Year honors since 2018. RHP\/SS Chayse Overholt, who won the honor last season, was named 2026 NWC Player of the Year in balloting by conference coaches. In NWC games, Overholt pitched 32.1 innings with 47 strikeouts and just six walks. He gave up three earned runs with an ERA of .649. At the plate against NWC foes, Overholt batted .458 with seven RBIs, 11 runs scored and eight stolen bases. Against all opponents, he\u2019s 7-0 with 49 strikeouts and six walks and an ERA of .612. Overholt currently has 23 career wins, one shy of the school record set by Landon Price (2019-2022).<\/p>\n\n\n
