Im gonna brag for a minute here

My sons High School team is heading to south Ga. for a best 2 out of 3 in the first round of the play offs.

My boy is the starting catcher and lead off hitter for the varsity team. As a Sophomore he is hitting over .500 for the season with a .746 on base percentage and has 18 stolen bases . As a catcher he has had ZERO passed balls in 24 games ( this is remarkable ), and has thrown out 12 runners in 16 stolen base attempts.

I am so excited for him to be in the state playoffs (and me, LOL), He is a great kid, an excellent student, National Beta club, Student council, Principals advisory committee, He volunteers in the community with several organizations and is a good looking kid just like me

Im very proud of the young man he has grown into, His coaches , and I , have no doubts he will be playing D1 baseball some where if he stays on the track he is on. He is interested in Vanderbilt, Clemson, and Ole Miss.

He and I have worked our tails off for 10 years to get him here, countless hours hitting, throwing, ground balls, hitting lessons, catching instruction, push ups, sit ups, sprints and on and on. Then the games, 60 to 100 travel ball games a year.

It makes me so happy to see him realizing his/our dream. Win loose or draw, I want him to really enjoy the moment!

Just an excited dad
