My Project

It is hard to believe that we will begin practice in two months and we are anxious to get started. This year we have decided to have a team slogan which is, Whatever It Takes! This is our commitment to work hard, give 100% and do what we need to do to be successful. In order to do that we need some newer equipment to do that as some of the equipment is getting tired. We know that equipment is not cheap, but we know that we put the equipment to good use as it will help us to achieve our goals for the year.

Thank you for all of your support!

We could not do this without all of you and your interest in our baseball program. We hope that you will have to opportunity to come watch us this spring!
