Here's what's coming down the stretch ...
4/15 (Thurs) Varsity vs. Cooper -- Under the lights, we'll get another crack at our friends at Cooper. I expect an inspired effort by the Dragons and a battle that will prepare us for what is ahead.
4/17 (Sat) V/JV vs. the Angels -- That about says enough, but there's more. It's Family Day, with food between the games and a chance to visit with and welcome our visitors from Dallas. Also, the Angels are sticking around to play the West Houston Thunder's Varsity after our game.
And, oh, yeah ... the Angels value their relationship and rivalry with us so much that they are skipping the finals of the Texas Tournament to be here and play us.
4/19 (Mon) Varsity vs. the Power -- We finally return to Barton Park for a home game vs. the Power. Expect a battle and for the Power (who have beaten us twice this season) to come with a great effort.
4/22 (Thurs) JV/V vs. the West Houston Thunder -- Our JV and home finale at Barton. Our friends and rivals with the Thunder have been playing great baseball over the last half of the season. Last time we played them, they beat us, 13-8. This will be a great send-off for Florida.
4/26 (Mon) - 5/1 (Sat) -- Varsity competes in the Homeschool World Series in Auburndale, FL. This will be our first time to play out-of-state, and with the new format the field will be wide-open. Also, for those of you interested at the next level, HWSA informs me that there will be college scouts in attendance. As for us, we look at this as a great time to celebrate our season, play well (we always play well when we get to HWSA competition), and set the stage for the great things we have before us next season.
But hold on ... we have great things before us even now. Let's go get them.
See you on the field,
Coach Rut
