I titled this thread the way I did to get some folks to read this.
I just wanted a moment of team promotion. I haven't touted Northwest HS any this season other than report scores. This is a program that hasn't been to the playoffs in 20 years in baseball. They may not make it this year either, but they have a chance. If a group of 20 kids deserved it more, I can't think of any.
My kiddo is a frosh on the team, but they accepted him in immediately. He has had a few tough moments and few few cool ones, but the the 10 seniors and 9 juniors never did anything but support him and each other. The coach is young and demanding and the kids have responded to him.
Either way this turns out, I can't imagine a group of kids that are more deserving, and if they don't make it, they have experienced something very special in teammwork, commraderie and working towards a goal together...something that will carry them way past any baseball they may play.
Thanks Coach Hendrix and the 2006 Texans...you guys are great and let's take it to the playoffs!
