Brophy Baseball Earns ABCA Team Academic Award for Seventh Consecutive Season

The Brophy College Preparatory baseball team was recognized on Wednesday with the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award presented by Sports Attack. The Broncos were one of nine Arizona high school programs selected for the award and were among nearly 350 high school programs overall. The Broncos had a 3.57 team grade point average and earned the award for the seventh consecutive year.
 
The American Baseball Coaches Association is proud to recognize the over 800 member college and high school programs from across the country that have been awarded the 2023-24 ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award, presented by Sports Attack. 
 
Coaches could nominate their teams for the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award following the conclusion of their spring semesters. To be honored, teams had to meet the following criteria:
 
  • Must be a high school or college team
  • Head coach must be a current ABCA member
  • Team must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 on a 4.0 scale for the 2023-24 academic year
The American Baseball Coaches Association has a long tradition of recognizing the achievements of baseball coaches and student-athletes. The ABCA/Rawlings All-America Teams are the nation's oldest, founded in 1949, and the ABCA's awards program also includes the ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Awards, the ABCA/ATEC Regional & National Coaches of the Year and several other major awards such as the ABCA Hall of Fame and the Dave Keilitz Ethics in Coaching Award.
