Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Coach Thom Sibbitt, baseball has made a comeback at Benson High School.After several years without a team, Coach Sibbitt took the initiative to revive the sport, providing students with the opportunity to engage in America's pastime.

Benson is currently the only school in the Omaha Public Schools district without its own baseball field. Transportation challenges made it difficult to sustain the sport, as getting teams to practice and game locations after school was often impossible. Despite these obstacles, two years ago, Coach Sibbitt assembled a team of novices who had never held a bat or ball before. He managed to form two groups: a beginner team and a more advanced team that quickly developed their skills.

The teams played summer legion ball and recently completed another successful season, continuing to learn and grow in the game of baseball. They practice at local Little League fields and rent a field from North High School for their games.

Looking ahead, with your help, there is hope that Benson will soon have its own baseball field across the street in Gallagher Park, further strengthening the program and making baseball more accessible for all students.
