Spring Sports

 
We love that grandparents come out and support their games.


Austin's team won first place! He continues to improve each season. He batted 3rd from the end during the play-off tournament, but I really appreciated that the coach moved the lineup around all season so that each kid felt valued. Austin mostly played 2nd base and right field with the occasional turn at shortstop.


Bryson had a great season! Unfortunately, his team struggled, losing every game. The league divided into east and west for each division, and the east had very little talent to choose from for Bryson's age. Matt coached again and knew the season would be a struggle. They didn't end up in last place for the tournament though!



Carter enjoys both tennis and football but can't do both in high school, so he played on the JV tennis team at school and did a football league outside of school. These are a few pictures from his flag football team.

Spring Sports

Bryson had an enjoyable baseball season, but we are ready for a new coach next season. Hopefully, that will be his dad!



Austin played his 2nd season of baseball and grew leaps and bounds. We are still frustrated that he gets overlooked due to his small stature (he didn't get selected for a premier team), but he had the highest batting average on his team, caught 4 fly balls, several thrown outs from pitcher to 1st base, and just played a smart heads up game when fielding and running bases. 




Carter played on the junior high tennis team (#2 on the 8th grade boys team) and also played on a flag football team. He really enjoys football! Unfortunately his team of 8th graders couldn't keep up with the teams of 9th graders they played against--height and pre-puberty made all the difference when opponents just had to throw a high ball. His team worked and played hard, though. When deciding between football and tennis for high school, he went with tennis due to the environment of young men. Carter made the JV team for tennis next year.


Caleb had more wins than losses, but there are two incredibly tough [and super rich] schools in our district that have amazing talent. It makes winning district and advancing to region and state a steep uphill battle. He's working hard to fight for it next year. He played #2 on the Varsity boys team and will be the #1 spot for his senior year.
