Walton, meanwhile, is certain to be on a mission to return to the state championship after getting swept by Parkview in the finals last season to miss out on its third state title in school history and first since 2007. The Raiders are led on the mound by ace Zac Kristofak, a University of Georgia signee, and at the plate by shortstop Carter Kieboom, an Under Armour All-American who has signed with Clemson but is expected to be a first- or second-round pick in next month’s MLB Draft. Junior outfielders Michael Guldberg and Jason Rooks are both verbally committed to Georgia Tech.
