HHS HEAD BASEBALL COACH RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION
Hamilton High Head Baseball coach, Mike Woods was recently selected to the National High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame!
Mike Woods started coaching as a freshman baseball coach at Anderson Junior High in Chandler for nine seasons (1987-1998). In 1998, he moved across town to the newly opened Hamilton High School. And there he stayed, coaching the nine-time state tournament-winning Huskies for 26 years and counting. He built his program on high standards and accountability. He demanded that his athletes play hard, compete, and be good teammates.
Under Woods, Hamilton has piled up its nine Arizona big school state titles in three different decades (2003, 2004, 2008, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2023), and finished runner-up three times (2005, 2009, 2011). The team reached the semi-finals 16 times and appeared in the state tournament for 22 consecutive years. The Huskies have won 11 regional crowns and three 14-U Babe Ruth World Series titles (2007, 2009, 2019). With Woods at the helm, Hamilton has won 74% of its games with a record of 579-209.
