Eric has played baseball for years in Vienna.  He played Vienna-American Little League and was a 9-10 and 11-12 all-star.  He has played Vienna Babe Ruth and travel baseball for the Bulldogs. Last summer Eric played for the Vienna Mustangs in the Old Dominion League and in the National High School Championship Tournament. Eric was a starting defensive back for the Warhawks Regional Championship football team this fall.

At Madison, Eric was a starter for the District Champion Warhawks JV team as a freshman infielder.  He made the Varsity as a sophomore and played outfield for the Warhawks making several big defensive plays in their '03 Liberty District and Northern Region championship runs. During his junior season, Eric primarily played as an outfielder and made several key catches in the Warhawks '04 Championship season. Eric will be called upon to play middle infield as a senior.

Eric's thoughts on the Season: "This year will be another outstanding year for Warhawks Baseball. We are young but talented."

Coach Gjormand on Eric:  "Eric enters his third year at the Varsity level. After spending his first two seasons running in the outfield, Eric will move to the infield this spring. Because of his athleticism, this should be a smooth transition for him."
