My student athletes are great. They make the best of what we have and continue to play for the love of the sport. While we have yet to win a game, the boys still push forward and know that we will continue to get better. With new equipment and better facilities, I could help my players become better players and men. They have a true love of the game and deserve better than what I am able to put them on the field with. We currently have 23 students on the team and are maintaining a 3.0 GPA as a team. Academics comes first for us and it would be great for these boys to be able to succeed in baseball as well as they are in academics. There is great support for the program in school, but a lack of funding. We broke even on a fundraiser selling shirts to purchase t-shirts for the boys to play baseball in this year, but no matter how hard it seems, the boys continue to push forward to get better and grow.
