A great group of boys...


So, this team won their district, they went on to win the State Tournament, and then went on the ride of their lives to the Midwest Regionals. After over a week in Indiana they ended up in the Championship game against Ohio. It was an amazing game with a lot of heart and soul put into it! They ended up losing right at the end 7 to 5.

The best part about this ride to the World Series...these boys are the nicest kids I have been around EVER. There was not one ego on this team. They really had something special. They way they brought each other up when they were down, they way they celebrated each others successes...it was incredible! They really became friends and I think they will remember this experience for the rest of their lives. The coaches deserve a huge trophy for they way they approached these boys. They were such teachers of the game. They had nothing but patients and respect! The coaches really believed in these boys! I have so much respect and appreciation for their hard work...these coaches gave up a lot of vacation days, money, time, sweat and some tears right at the end. I could never say thank you enough! I think we really made some great new friends. What a ride...
