Where hard work, sportsmanship, and a passion for baseball come together.
Our Baseball Program gives student-athletes the opportunity to sharpen their skills, strengthen teamwork, and learn the value of focus, patience, and preparation. From practices to game day, players are encouraged to compete with sportsmanship, support one another, and take pride in representing our school both on and off the field.

Michael Canterbury — Head Coach
Head Baseball Coach, Michael Canterbury
“I am honored and excited for the opportunity to join the NRCA athletic staff as the Head Baseball Coach. I look forward to investing in the lives of our student-athletes, helping them grow both on and off the field.
With more than 16 years of coaching experience at the middle school and high school levels, I am passionate about developing not only skilled athletes but also young men of character. I believe athletics provide a unique opportunity to build strong character, cultivate leadership, and encourage students to grow in their faith and God-given purpose.
My wife, Erin, and I have three children and are blessed to be proud grandparents to one granddaughter. Our family is grateful for the opportunity to join the NRCA community, and we are excited to help build a baseball program grounded in faith, character, commitment, and excellence.
We look forward to this new chapter and can’t wait to see what God has in store for NRCA Baseball. Go Chargers!”
Assistant Baseball Coach, Matthew McLaughlin
“I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I attended Valley View Baptist Church as a child and accepted Christ as my Savior at age 8. Since 2009, I have been a faithful member of First Baptist Church, Tuscaloosa.
I graduated from Hillcrest High School in 2005 and married my high school sweetheart in 2011. Together, we have three wonderful children: a 12-year-old son and two daughters, ages 10 and 7.
For the past 10 years, I have had the privilege of coaching baseball, sharing my passion for the game while mentoring young athletes. I have also worked in the security industry for the past 20 years.”
