It's been awhile since I've consistently blogged so you may not know much about the baseball team, CB and BB play on. We've been a team going on 4 months and finished our fall season this past weekend. Our fall record was 8-5.
I can't express how proud we are of our boys. We have been so blessed to be a part of team with parents and coaches who represent us with class, sportsmanship and integrity on and off the field. This is a rarity in organized sports that can be dominated by politics, greed, bitterness, hostile coaching and parenting. We aren't just team players but we are friends on and off the field. We praise and celebrate when every player is successful because each boy on that field has a piece of our heart. We also encourage and sympathize when one didn't play as well and just had a 'bad game' as that can be the case with any sport. We hug and high five much more often than criticize and condemn. Yet our coaches have built a team of players that continue to improve in spirit and play.
Our boys not only represent the MC Shockers on the field but off the field as well through community service and support. We collected pantry and toiletry items for a local family who lost all of their belongings to a house fire. We recently participated and raised $421.00 for the Walk for Diabetes in support of a fellow teammate who was diagnosed with diabetes back during the summer. Not many teams coach their players off the field also.
I can't wait to see what God has in store for our team in seasons to come.
