Plattsburgh High's pitching staff has been absolutely dominant this season, and the latest star to shine is Cooper Holland. The Hornets' ace delivered a masterful no-hitter Thursday, leading his team to a commanding 13-1 victory over Beekmantown in CVAC action.

Holland was nearly untouchable on the mound, allowing no earned runs while walking five and striking out an impressive 13 batters. The performance adds to a growing legacy of excellence from Plattsburgh's pitchers, joining Diego Rios and Lucas Kowalowski in a rotation that's become the talk of the league.

"Congratulations to Cooper on his achievement, very well deserved," said PHS coach Joe Tolosky. "He seems to be really enjoying himself out there, and that's what it's all about."

Holland also contributed at the plate, collecting two hits alongside Rios. Ryan Colburn added a double to the offensive attack. The Hornets wasted no time seizing control, erupting for eight runs in the top of the first inning.

"I was much happier with our approach at the plate today," Tolosky said. "We seemed to be aggressive and had good plate discipline in the early going."

In a twist, Plattsburgh served as the away team despite playing on their home field due to availability issues. The final line: Holland and Colburn on the mound for PHS, while Loughan, Hart, Adams, and Kelley pitched for Beekmantown.

Kalib Smith added two singles and a triple, and Jake Frechette and Drew Engstrom each contributed three singles. Deacon Whitmarsh and Trenten Taylor chipped in with two singles apiece.

"We were able to come out and get the bat on the ball tonight against a good pitcher (Jacob Perkins)," Peru coach Brian Marino said. "I thought we worked the count and got ourselves into some favorable hitting situations."

Kayden Smith also earned the win on the mound, allowing just three hits while striking out 12 and carrying a no-hitter into the fifth inning. "Kayden pitched very well tonight and mixed his pitches to keep their hitters from getting a solid barrel on the ball," Marino added. "We played good defense behind him."
