Regis Jesuit has hired former University of Nebraska coach Mike Anderson to lead its baseball program, according to the high school.
Anderson is filling big shoes, namely those of Walt Weiss, who was hired by the Rockies as their manager in November. Weiss was head coach at Regis for one season, guiding the Raiders to a 20-6 record.
Anderson was 337-196-2 at Nebraska and coached the Huskers to the College World Series in 2005. He was named the Big 12 Conference coach of the year in 2003 and 2005 but was fired by Nebraska after a 2011 season in which his team went 30-25 overall, 9-17 in the Big 12.
Anderson, a graduate of Eaton, was an All-Colorado selection as a shortstop. He played baseball at Northern Colorado from 1983-86 and was later in the California Angels' organization.
Regis Jesuit returns its top two hitters: senior Brody Weiss (Walt's son) and junior Max George. The Raiders' pitching staff will take a hit with the graduation of ace Peter Bayer, but junior David Peterson should slip into that role nicely.
