CONGRATULATIONS SENIORS CLASS OF 2018Congratulaaons Senior Class of 2018The only thing that really maaers to me is offering these young men a solid foundaaon on which you can laterconstruct lives of meaning and value. I would not consider this season a success based only on our wins and losses.I would not consider it a success if our coaching staff did not prepare our players to be beeer men, beeer friendsand beeer teammates. Baseball is a great avenue to refine success in terms of growing-up to be paaent,self-controlled and full of integrity and selflessness. Remember, you are always in charge of two things away fromthe field….your effort and aatude. It has been a pleasure coaching you and I wish you all the best.Coach Hanson
