After capturing their third consecutive state championship title, the Gatewood Gators baseball team had four players named to the GIAA Class AA All-State team, including Hunter Johnson, Lawson Moore, Jayden Moss, and Walker Roberts.
Additionally, Roberts was named the GIAA Class AA Player of the Year.
Roberts batted .333 with 27 hits, 15 RBI, and four home runs, but where he really shined was on the mound. Roberts pitched in 13 games and threw for 51 innings while allowing just 30 hits and 11 runs while striking out a team-best 76 batters in 2025.
Meanwhile, Moore led the Gators at the plate in 2025 with a .408 batting average for the season, including four home runs and a team-leading 31 hits, 31 RBI, and seven doubles. Moore shined on the mound as well, pitching 27.2 innings and allowing 20 hits and 16 runs while striking out 43 batters and finishing the season with a 3.04 ERA.
Johnson batted .338 with 27 hits and 15 RBI with a team-best 20 stolen bases.
Moss batted .366, driving in 29 RBI on 26 hits and a team-leading nine home runs in 2025.
Both Roberts and Johnson were seniors and have graduated, but Moore and Moss, who were in their freshman year as Gators, are expected to remain among the best players in the state again next season.
