Great Saturday of Baseball with Lansing Catholic highlighted by the honoring of our team moms for Mother’s Day.

Thank you, @LCHSVBaseball for making the trip. We look forward to returning the favor next year.

Tonight we took our talents to the bowling alley. To sum it up, our strike percentage is higher on the mound than it was at the alley 🎳

SWEEP!

Varsity Baseball keeps themselves in the thick of the OK-Gold race with their latest 3-game sweep of Thornapple-Kellogg this past week. A big shoutout to JV as well who also took 3 games over the Trojans.

Well done, boys. Go West!

Do I love coaching? Absolutely! But the time away from my two girls and wife definitely weighs in as a coach. Moments like this after a game mean so much more than the game of baseball 💚
