PLAYER’S COMMENTS
“… People had a much better scouting report on me this year than last year. I spent time with my coaches in the off-season working on my weak points in preparation for that. As the season went on I had to make some in-game adjustments to my plan at the plate. My coaches always helped with that.
“… Yeah it definitely felt good reaping the benefits of all my hard work.
“… The RidgeRunners team is a quality place to be with a great coaching staff. The competition is solid and challenges me every game. The combination of the coaching staff and competition is helping me get better every day.”
“… My main goal for junior year is to win an OVC championship. I am also going to keep improving in hopes to play pro ball.”
