For the next three weeks, we’re bringing you a special series of interviews recorded on location in Cary, North Carolina, during USA Baseball’s National High School Invitational (NHSI). It was another phenomenal event filled with top-tier talent and outstanding coaching.

This week, we kick things off with a round of conversations featuring coaches from five standout programs that competed at NHSI:

• Corrigan Willis – Granada High School (CA)
• John Murphy – Trinity Christian Academy (FL)
• Matt Darr – Regis Jesuit High School (CO)
• Matt Denny – Casteel High School (AZ)
• Tim Funkhouser – Edwardsville High School (IL)

These coaches share insights on building successful programs, preparing for high-level competition, and what it means to represent their school and community on a national stage.
