On Wednesday night I emailed my Players, Parents & Staff the letter below. I loaded it to our team Facebook yesterday. With today’s announcement, I wanted you all to know how blessed I was to have coached this special group of Seniors!

It is incredibly hard to believe we must say Thank You and Goodbye from afar. We’re so proud of these 13 young men, our heartbreaks that we won't be able to finish this together. You are all Champions . . . Go be Champions of Life!

Tough loss today to a very good Huntington Beach squad.
Class of 2022…you were tough, resilient, unselfish, humorous, and together. You left Foothill Baseball in a better place. You were a great example for the young people in our program, at our school, and in our community.
So proud of these 11 seniors, I’ve challenged them to make TEAM their priority for the past 2 years. They are very talented and gifted players, but the power of TEAM makes them a great force. Last Wednesday practice tomorrow, soak it in!
I LOVE this time of year, all 80 guys on one field working together, from senior to freshman side by side working on improving their game. Seniors become the teacher and example of how WE do it. This is the Process, this is a Program!

Few earn the privileged to practice on Memorial Day, today it’s a special day being on the field with these guys!
Tomorrow, CIF-SS Division 1 Semi-Finals at Bishop Amat, game time is 3:15.

Congrats to the 58 Scholar/Athletes for the 2020 Baseball Season. Our teams were 29-8 on the field before COVID-19 ended the season, but what’s even most important is how our guys killed it in the classroom. Being the very best all the time . . . Winners for Life.

They can’t wait to compete on the field!
Can’t say how excited I was to see and be a part of Steve Wanamaker return to umpiring the plate today. After last July 5th tragic accident it took incredible grit to be back in less that a year.

Blessed to have coach
@shawngreen15
- it’s funny to think when I compare guys I coach today to Shawn that many don’t know or understand what a great player he was. But more than baseball Shawn was the ultimate teammate - student/athlete & friend!
The Knights 2024 season comes to an end today with a 5-2 loss to a strong La Mirada group. Final record 21-9
