COACH SPEAK “I’m excited to be back. Baseball and football are the sports I love and am really passionate about. We are working on our culture and mental game right now. We are low numbers right now in high school. We are kind of working on us. We don’t really worry about other teams. We want to improve each week and have something to play for at the end of the year. It’s about how you finish.”
