Baker is credited as the "driving force" behind the volunteer project that produced the 8,000 square foot Team Room that fills the south end of the Lion's Field stadium.
He took the project on, enlisting volunteers and tradesman to make the project go which ended up with four locker rooms with showers, toilets and drinking fountains, two coach rooms, two training rooms, a referee's room and an office. The Team Room enabled the facility to host large football and soccer teams, and also allowed for multiple games to be played back to back because several teams could be allowed have their own dressing facility.
Baker was standout football and basketball player for the Chiefs, named an All State defensive back, who recorded five interceptions his senior year.
He helped the Chiefs' defense set school records for least points given-up in a season (70), most shutouts (three) and most wins (10). He was named Big 9 co-defensive player of the year with his teammate Mitch Reffett. The team ranked fifth in state and make the playoff quarterfinals.

She was first in the Big 9 in the 1600-meter all three years of her high school career and was a state participant seven times between cross country and track,.
Lybbert was the team's MVP six times and was named the Big 9 Distance Runner of the Year both her junior and senior years.
