Coach Leonard said that the first part of the season it was a little slow getting things together but later on in the season things begin to fall into place and there was no problem from then on as the Papooses held on the finish in good shape and a clean record. Behind good pitching there has to be good defensive play which the Papooses done well, the in field along with the outfield was strong. The hitting contributed its share of the teams good season. It takes hits to get runners on base and it takes runners on base to score points and thats just what the Papooses did well, was to score points. Behind a kids team is the enthusiasm of the parents. There was tdtal cooperation and. support from x all the parents all season long, this gave the kids a big boost to know that the backing was there.
