Room for Improvement

I once had a coach tell me..."The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement" I am not sure what we can take away from the JV game tonight except that it was another chance to improve. A lot of guys got some swings and we had someone other than ourselves hitting baseballs back at us. A few important days of practice coming up. We aren't exactly ready yet...but we are getting there. Come out Saturday (I will post a schedule tomorrow) and watch us as we look to improve some more. Think positive thoughts about no rain!!!

Meet the Streaks

Thanks to all those who braved the cold to support our Silver Streaks. Also thanks to those who brought the Gatorade's/etc. for us to use during the season. It is much appreciated. We saw some things we liked tonight, and of course, some things we need to work on. It was obvious that the pitchers were ahead of the hitters tonight...and that is to be expected. But, for the most part, we threw strikes, handled the baseball, and put good swings on the ball. I can't wait to see this team when we fire on all cylinders. Sometimes, you have to field a team that is out-gunned from the beginning talent wise. I don't see that being the case this year. But, we will need to be able to respond to adversity and stay mentally and emotionally tough. And how we do that remains to be seen. How will our guys respond to a bad at-bat, a throwing error, a base running mistake, a base on balls? It will all become clear as we head into our season. We as coaches, are hopeful that our experiences from last year and the ones to be had at the beginning of this year will pay dividends. We are excited. Brave the cold and come out as we play our first opponent in a JV game tomorrow at 4:30. Looking forward to the progress we make tomorrow!

The Goal

As practice has started, I thought I would remind all of the common goal...to get here!

Congratulations

Congratulations to Coach Massey and the girls basketball team. Though it was not the ending that we wanted, the elite 8 is still a fantastic accomplishment. This was an amazing season to watch and a true example of the success that hard work, selflessness, and teamwork will bring.

Good Luck

The baseball team would like to wish good luck to Coach Massey, his staff, and the Streaks girls basketball team today in their Super Sectional game.
