Rocks had a good year. Not too many people expected them to get out of district this year. Hats off. It shows you need experience to play at Applebees and Trinity is a young team with only 5 seniors. Rocks should make it back next year riding on the shoulders of Littrell and Fuchs. But, the bats have to come alive. Besides hitting, Tompkins should work on how not to get into triple play. Good luck next year....
Ballard parents get their way again. Coach Gilbert is as good as you can get. Yes, Ballard has had some good teams, but baseball is still a team sport and if the players don't buy into it, they won't get past district. Good luck to Coach Gilbert in his future. Heck, he might go back to Trinity, where he started...
Good hitters in high should only get out 5 or 6 times out of 10 at bats. If X's young pitchers learn from experience, might not fair well for the Rocks in the future. Fast ball out, fast ball in, curve ball....easy as 1,2,3.
Another upset. Heard the Rocks came back top of 7th and went up by 2 runs. Wheels just fell off the bottom of 7th when sophmore pitcher Armstong tried to close. Armstrong is a very good sophmore pitcher, but Manual batters did a better job at the plate.
Wow, good win for the Rocks. Normally THS has alot to say, but it is true what they say "Actions speak louder than words". Which is normally the case with this team.
