Gruver Dominates 2025 Texas Panhandle Super Team Honors

by By the Hansford Reporter-Statesman Staff

The Gruver Greyhounds capped off a remarkable 2025 baseball season with a deep playoff run -- and now, a sweep of postseason honors in the Amarillo Globe-News Texas Panhandle Super Team selections. 

Not only did multiple Gruver players receive recognition, but Head Coach Khris Kelp was also named Coach of the Year, a testament to the program's grit, leadership, and rising prominence. 

Coach of the Year: Khris Kelp 
Coach Kelp guided the Greyhounds to the Region I-2A Division II Finals, navigating a demanding playoff bracket and developing a squad that balanced discipline, intensity, and heart. Under his leadership, Gruver stood tall among regional powerhouses like West Plains, Amarillo High, and Nazareth -- all of whom made it to the regional semifinals or beyond. For Gruver, this was a defining year -- and Kelp's coaching earned the respect of the entire Panhandle baseball community. 

Briggs Satterfield, Junior - Utility 
Satterfield was the ultimate asset for Gruver, contributing on the mound, at the plate, and in the field. His adaptability and high baseball IQ made him one of the region's most valuable players and a crucial part of the team's playoff success. 

Honorable Mentions 
 Bo Cowan - Speed, hustle, and all-around athleticism. 
 Stephen Cowan - Consistency and competitive drive that kept Gruver in key games. 
 Jett Pittman - A reliable presence on both sides of the ball and a quiet force all season. 

Gruver's historic run to the regional finals has not only brought pride to Hansford County but also earned the team well-deserved recognition as one of the premier programs in the Texas Panhandle.
