We are the Champions!!
We have been waiting to play against the Cougars for over a year. Luke and Jackson used to play on this Team. On Saturday we met them for the first time. Luke was behind the plate, had a few errors, hit okay but was far from one of his best games. We were picked off at 1st base 3 times and even had a few walks, by our pitchers, along with some other silly errors.

On Sunday, we met the Cougars, again, in the Championship game. Luke goes to school and has many close friends on the Cougar Team. All week he had to hear about this game, from his classmates. After school all he would talk about is what the kids were saying.
After not performing up to standards, in the first meeting on Saturday, and being benched for the last inning, his nerves got the best of him, for the Championship Game against the Cougars. Due to being a little anxious, nervous, what ever you want to call it, he got a headache.
He was playing against some of his best friends, when he left the Cougars there was alot of tension, and some of the remarks, from the Cougar Players, were not very nice. All week I talked to him about this, and tried to reassure him it is ONLY a game.
I was told that he needs to learn to deal with it, get over it, and play. We will see how the rest of the year goes!!
