I love this picture!! Not because it's Blue Ridge or because I coached these kids when they were barely old enough to swing a baseball bat, but because it captures the essence of teamwork. The desire for an entire team working towards the same goal. Bonds are built when you work and struggle towards something. I think this is the importance of sports in the life of a young person. Teamwork, Integrity, Desire, Sacrifice.........
Note: #57.....I remember calling his mother when he was 9 years old and asking her if I could draft him onto my baseball team...........Her comment, "yes, but are you sure he'll be ok". He was my catcher for the next three years. He's now playing football for Baker University.
