We finished up our baseball season Monday night in the State Tournament at Hot Springs. We lost to the eventual Champion, Hot Springs Lakeside, who is coached by one of my buddies from college, Ryan White. So congratulations to them for winning.
The baseball season was the most fun I have ever had coaching or being a part of a team. The guys are just incredible. They had amazing talent, great personalities, hard work ethic, and just great team chemistry with each other. I think of the relationships I was able to form with guys like Cole Sisemore and John Wohlford and it made the summer worth while. Plus I was able to strengthen previous relationships with Ryan Ashcraft and Cameron Young plus others. All of the guys were just creat competitors and young men.
Also the two other coaches I worked with. Our head coach was Mark Kincannon. Coach K is a Connections Minister at Community Bible Church in Fort Smith and he is one of the finest Christian man I know. The way he carries himself on and off the field is one thing I really learned from him. Also Brian Fry. Coach Fry is the Athletic Director and Head Baseball Coach at Union Christian Academy here in Fort Smith. He has a great knowledge of baseball and how to deal with young people. I learned alot from spending the summer with these two guys. I can go on and on about them.
With baseball ending- so does summer. I started volleyball practice at Northside today so the season is officially under way. We will practice for about 3 weeks and then our first game is August 21. The second day of school. I also go on contract here pretty soon so I will be back up at school a few weeks before school starts getting ready to get going. Some things have changed for me at school with some addition of some new responsibilities and I look forward to what is ahead.
Hope everyone had a great July and an even better August.
