What I like best about my sport:
“It’s super fun. The competition is good, and it’s fun
to make friends with the players from other teams.”
Coach’s Comment: “He came in second in Enterprise
with an 83, and it’s been his best round of the season.
This is the culmination of his hard work over the last
four years. He’s worked really hard to get his game to
a point where he can compete at the state level.”

“They need to change their
approaches at the plate,” he
said. “The guys do too much
with one at bat, not focusing.”
As the team looks at the
season’s home stretch, the
coach said, “Any opponent is
going to be diffi cult, and we
can’t overlook anybody. The
biggest thing is they’ve got to
work harder in the cages and
start swinging the bats.”
