The team had to be good, they had to work hard every day, they had to win districts, they had to win regional’s, and the most importantly the team had to get along great they have to be a family. My final year of High school baseball had a huge impact on me it helped me get recruited to continue playing the sport in college. First, the Team experienced some things that we had to overcome from injuries to getting two new head coach’s. We played the regular season well winning the one tournament we competed it. Than came the playoffs our team was very confident knowing we played teams we beat earlier in the year. The first game I threw a shut out winning the game 4-0.

Something we have not been able to bring to our school in three years to almost winning our regional’s that we were not even predicted to make it out of our district tournament. All in all it was the best season I had of high school baseball, I became close with all my teammates we went to battle together and we formed a “brotherhood” that to this day is still an amazing one I am still close with everyone on that team.

    I really enjoyed playing baseball that season. That baseball season was way different from my previous baseball seasons. The difference was that this season was a winning season and in my previous seasons all my team did was lose and have poor sportsmanship.

    Baseball: the sport where you stand around for 20 minutes and move 3 feet to the left and move 3 feet to the right. It’s so intense. It’s so intense that you could take a nap on the field with everything out there. Of course, I’m being sarcastic. The only time it’s actually fun is when you’re annihilating the other team while they’re asleep on the field.…

Every night after practice I would hit extra in the batting cage and even in the morning before school. The drive that I had to succeed was incredible, and I never settled for anything less than what I knew I could do.…

    The game of baseball has always been in my life since I was a child. My love for the game began when I was five years of age signing up for tee ball at the local little league. As a child, I would imagine myself as a professional ballplayer. I would mimic my idols every chance I had or I would dream of myself being in a critical situation to win the game and to make history. Now, I am chasing my dream by trying to become one of those greats who played the game.…

    This thought petrified us. We would face the best ball players in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arkansas. Being on ESPN made us anxious, but when we started to win one game after another, it took off some of the weight we felt. It came down to the final game against East Texas, where we won in the last inning by an inside the park home run by Cain Castille. This moment changed our lives…

    A nail bitter, teeth clincher, bone shaker. This game was everything you want when you take the family out for an evening of high school basketball. The Falcons and The Stallions battled tick for tac down to the very last second, but there could only be one winner. The first quarter was a bit sloppy, a lot of missed baskets, a lot of fouls, and plenty of turnovers, no one had gone on a stretch, after the first quarter the score was Green Run 10 Cox 9.…

    After my breakthrough, I felt afraid to meet my friends in the park the next day since I figured they wouldn’t want me there. Instead, I remember how happy they were to have me playing again, and I remember how forgiving Ryan was when I apologized; but, most of all, I remember how good it felt the first day we played baseball, when I played with them instead of against them, when I played only to have some fun with good friends. Yes, I remember when, for the first time in my life,…

    If there was one thing I was used to by now, it was that whenever something didn’t go well for me on the baseball field, the future holds green pastures only if I go looking for it. So sure enough, after that loss, I set my eyes ahead to the next season. That final season we had a great start, winning a lot of games, but we ended up barely making the playoff as somewhat of an underdog. We didn’t think about anything that was at stake, we simply played our game all the way to the championship game without a loss in the playoffs. We won the first game of he series and were winning for the majority of the second game.…
