Been busy as hell! Between my season and Kody and Klay starting up, I might as well put a tent at the ballfields.
Saturday had Kody and Klay's team opening up in the Bronco division (11-12). Klay had a double and two singles. Kody hit a ground rule double to LC and two singles. Plus, he threw out a runner trying to steal second from behind the plate. The change in him in one year has been unreal. He's been in the weight room with the football team since February and man has it shown. He is just so much more confident now.
My high school season is going pretty well. We finished in the top 4 in the OVAC 5A class, nudging out Morgantown and Parkersburg South. Unfortunately, we lost to number 2 seed Edison on Saturday in the semifinals. They've beat us all 3 times we have played this year now. Fuggers got our number.
We did bounce back last night in a regular season matchup beating Wheeling Park who came in with a 19-3 record and were the number one seed in the OVAC playoffs in 5A.
We are now 13-6. Below are the highlights of last nights Park game. Watch the catch to end the game by our leftfielder!

Also, below are highlights from an earlier game that helped us get into the OVAC playoffs. We beat 13-2 Harrison Central 9-8 in a wild one.

What I love most about this team is their work ethic. They come everyday ready to play. I also love the fact that at Catcher is a Junior, First is a junior, second is a sophomore, third is a sophomore, CF is a junior, and RF is a sophomore. My number one pitcher is also a sophomore. I'll only be losing my SS and LF. Although the SS is an unreal player is going to be so hard to replace.
