Soccer: The less said about the tryouts is probably the better at this point; nothing can cause controversy around here like tryouts for the travel team. I need someone coming up and saying “You said on the blog….” like I need a hole in the head.
That being said…we had 23 boys come out for 22 spots; 1 boy has dropped out, another will probably play somewhere else, so, we won’t be cutting anyone which is good. Matthew and Christopher both did well, not great, but well. Matthew ‘graded’ out ahead of Christopher, and both ended up squarely in the middle of the group in the evaluations.
Baseball: Boys are getting better in the field and making contact more frequently and with more power. Matthew, particularly, has always been late on the ball and that would means weak hits to the 1st basemen that were easy outs. That’s been improving recently.
First, a clip of Matthew from a game that I never posted. This was the only highlight from that game; Christopher had a rough day.
Second, here’s video from Tuesday. Christopher had some serious RBI action; because of my video position for this game you can see the runners going by in the background.
Matthew had one hit in this game as well.
