Baseball Season...Morenci Tournament Champs!


Koby has been playing Varsity baseball since his Freshman year, this is the third year we have played in the Morenci Tournament. In years past, we have always played this tournament without really trying to win. We used it as a time to let some of the younger players have some practice. It was always discouraging to leave the tournament after having lost games and feeling dejected because we knew we could contend for the title but the coaches didn't really care about it. This year, we have a new coach. At the beginning of the season, I asked him if there was anyway we could try to win the Morenci tournament. I knew our boys were good enough to do it, but we needed the coaches to allow our best team to play each game. Well Coach Johnson allowed that to happen this year, and our boys are now the Champions of the Morenci Tournament. SO AWESOME!!!! I knew they could do it and we are so proud of them! They beat the #1 team in the state 15-3 and so everyone is feeling good and I hope this gives them confidence as we finish up the last two weeks of the regular season and then head off to the State Tournament. I love baseball season!
