Desert Christian baseball standout Zach Malis led the Eagles to the state championship in May, a 29-2 season in which Malis hit .636 with an 11-1 pitching record. In his three varsity seasons, Malis has 158 RBIs and 67 extra-base hits, which has attracted college scouts even though Desert Christian plays in Division IV. Malis has ended the suspense; he has accepted a (rare for baseball) full scholarship to play at Grand Canyon University after he completes his high school career in May.
