Jim Donohue is a name that resonates profoundly within the hearts of those who have been part of Maretensdale-St Marys's baseball legacy. In 1978, Jim led the school to its very first state appearance, setting the stage for an era of baseball triumphs and community spirit that would flourish for decades. His leadership didn’t stop there; under his guidance, Maretensdale-St Marys achieved seven state appearances, culminating in winning the first state title in 2004.

As we celebrate our school's rich history and continuous growth, let us immortalize the legacy of a man who gave his all for his team and town. By naming the baseball complex after Jim Donohue, we can ensure that his story continues to inspire young athletes and the community at large.
