Son's high school baseball program had nineteen losing seasons seasons in the previous twenty-two. The last conference title was in the 90's. Three seasons ago the team won six games. Last year they had a winning record. This year they won the conference. They're now one win from states. It's the furthest any team in school history has gone in the tournament. There's just one obstacle in getting to states. The team most baseball people believe will win states is straight ahead. This is where faithful lean on there's a reason why they play the game.

That is quite a turnaround, RJM-is their team AAAA? If so, we may see you there...rocketson2 led off the 6th last night with a homer to start a 9 run rally; they need one more win to make the states for the first time in their 50 year history

South Western Mustangs going to state tourney for the first time ever-Congrats!

The team didn't get to states. But best season ever in a high school that never had a decent baseball program is a start. Seven of nine will return from the batting order. Five of six pitchers return. My son's class could become the first graduating class in over twenty-five years to play on three teams with winning records.

RJM you have alot to look forward to next year; our team has 9 seniors who have played together on varsity for 3 years, and last year we had to play into the District tourney and got knocked out in the next game, and look at us now (1 or 2 seed from our district in states)! It's too bad your team didn't make it, though; we will play the 5 seed from your district if we win tonight. I saw that your 5 seed won it all last year!

Last years #5, North Penn got upset in districts. They were one of the favorites to win states. In playoffs an average team with one stud pitcher may not be able to win districts, but they can ruin another team's run.

My son and I just finished his first year in H.S. with a third place in State (6A) losing to the eventual state champions Flannagan H.S. We were lucky that 3 of our games were shown on tv. He was the starting firstbase and batted 7th in a lineup that send 5 of them to the All Metro team. Four are seniors, so we have alot of rebuilding for next year but I tell my son he might go his other 3 years in H.S. without going that far in states again. It's going to be hard to top this season, but I hope we do.

Are you your son's team's coach? If not, relax, sit back and enjoy watching him play high school ball.
