Matt Brown is going out on top, stepping down from the position of Head Coach of Sandite Baseball following an historic State Runner-Up performance just last weekend.

After a five-year stint in his first head coaching job, and eight total years with the Sandites, Brown retired with a 113-52 record after leading the Sandites to their first-ever district championship in 2023, followed by their first State Tournament appearance since 2011 and first Finals appearance since 1978 this season.

Brown will be staying with the district and stepping into an administrative role as the new Assistant Principal at Charles Page High School.

Now, longtime assistant Scott Watkins will be taking over.

Watkins is a Sand Springs native who played collegiate ball at Oral Roberts University, Seminole State College, and Oklahoma State University before a ten-year professional career highlighted by a season playing with the Minnesota Twins in 1995. He has been a Sand Springs assistant since 2004.
