Why this matters in The Waco
Eddie Cornblum's departure from Midway marks the end of an era for the Panthers baseball team, leaving a significant void in the local sports community. His legacy, particularly the 6A State Championship win last season, will be remembered for years to come. The search for a new head coach will be closely watched, as Midway's athletic program has become a source of community pride. Cornblum's decision to leave for Jesuit Dallas may prompt questions about the competitiveness of local coaching positions and the challenges of retaining top talent in the Waco area. As the school begins its search for a replacement, fans and alumni will be eager to see how the program will evolve and whether the new coach can build on Cornblum's success. The impact of Cornblum's departure will likely be felt beyond the baseball field, as his influence extended to the broader Midway community.
