Not a coincidence there’s a lot of juco talk during the College World Series. Juco baseball teaches you how to work and grind. A lot of great programs are built with those juco bandits on the roster.

What a ride its been..I love every single one of these sophomores..These 10 young men are some of the toughest & grittiest guys..they showed up every day from August to now & worked their butts off. I know they will all be very successful in whatever they do next in life.

These are my three favorite pictures from this past season. Watching this team come together and each individual contribute in their own way was special. I can’t wait to see that banner hanging. It was earned.

To all our guys…Thank you so much for this. This is a day that will stay with me forever. Lincoln’s first birthday!! Of course, we partied on the ball field!!
Grant Little was a high school short stop...he’s now starting in left field for Texas Tech in the College World Series..AND he was a 2nd round draft pick too.
It pays to be versatile and doing what’s best for the team.

Final score was of course 6-5 USC Sumter. Many players stepped up today, but Austin Morris was the hero with a clutch single in the 9th and a diving catch to seal it as well!
Happy Thanksgiving from the Thompson family! I’m thankful I was able to marry my best friend this year and we could start our family with the best pup!
