GAVE HIS ALL 🍊 Hunter High has a lot of chapters left in his baseball story. The chapter that ended today saw him fulfill a childhood dream, defy the odds, be part of the 2024 National Championship team and stack up loads of memories and relationships he will cherish for a lifetime. I can't wait to watch the next chapter! I love you @hunterhigh5❣️❤️ THE BEST IS YET TO COME‼️🙏
My son left for College yesterday. I’m on my way out there now. I am not ok. This is the hardest thing that I have ever done. There’s a million emotions running through my mind just hoping I did enough as a dad to prepare him. I think that’s just human. I already miss the daily stuff we take for granted , getting him up for school, hanging in our garage playing video games , making him breakfast, etc. Be there for your little ones, soak up every moment you have , never say no and enjoy because it goes way too fast!
Jeff Thorne was my mentor and friend. He was a leader on the field, a builder of character, and a source of inspiration for everyone who wore the Cardinal uniform and the coaches who worked by his side. His passion for the game and his commitment to developing All-American teammates, husbands, and fathers will endure as part of his remarkable legacy at North Central.
I am thankful for the precious time I and our entire team had with him this fall for his Hall of Fame induction, our “Refuse to Lose: Cardinals for a Cure” game dedicated in his honor, and his Friday night pregame message to our team.
He lived his life as a faithful servant and devoted man of Christ. I am comforted knowing that he is now resting in the presence of our Savior.
My deepest condolences to Jeff’s wife, Joanna, and their beautiful family, his siblings, and his parents, all of whom are forever part of the Cardinal football family. The Cardinals will carry Jeff’s relentless “Refuse to Lose” spirit into every snap, every game, and every season. #WeAreNC
