GO ANGELS!

It’s a little strange and hard to believe that the boys have completed ANOTHER little league year. I don’t want them to grow up….EVER!

This year marked some amazing highlights for the boys. First, Teage was able to coach their team! Jeff (coach from last year) asked Teage to help out, and he was happy to do so. There were other Dad’s that also stepped up and helped out, but I think the boys enjoyed having their very own on the field with them.

This marked the last year for coach-pitch, and the boys took full advantage. Going into the season, they were a bit apprehensive about their team. Half of the years previous team moved up, and the new kids on the team didn’t quite have as much experience. They thought they weren’t going to win any games at all (a great teaching opportunity by us about team sport J).

So the season began, and those that had never played showed amazing ability throughout the season. Dylan and Lucas both made some amazing, jaw-dropping catches in the field, and numerous times their poor coach had to dive out of the way because of the line-drives that they hit back up the middle. Dylan and Lucas even turned a double play together, and closed out a few games with a groundout / toss over to first base to brother. The highlight, however, was to see how quickly the team came together and played as a team. In the end, they went undefeated!

Next year can’t come soon enough, and it’ll be interesting with player-pitch. It is awesome to see the boys and their growth, their love for the game, and the passion that they play with as well. GO ANGELS!!!
