What a way to end the season. Cougars won both games today against the Hawks. Connor played GREAT and it bums me out that he had to wait to the last game to prove himself. It has been a season of short comings...you are told one thing and then you are let down day after day, game after game. It showed today if you put the right players on the field this Team can play.
Joel, started the first game, as our pitcher and did outstanding. 
A shout out to Ty!! His brother Nic plays on Luke's Team, and through that Ty and Connor have become friends. Ty also played on the Iowa Bandits, which has 3 players on this Prairie Team.
Ty leading off and Connor playing first base. 
Connor even had some amazing base running today. He said "even Coach ???? commented on it". Imagine that....Maybe if he wouldn't of been benched when they brought others down from the Freshman Team and he had kept his spot, it wouldn't of taken this long to prove himself.
Jack is another boy who had some disappointments this year and has been replaced but has still persevered. Great season Jack...you are a GREAT center fielder!!!!
Last but not least here is Nic and Luke actually watching their brothers play instead of playing the game. Ok they are not actually watching but it is hard for these 2 little guys to sit and watch. They want to be playing.
I am so proud of Connor and some of the other boys who through all the ups and downs, stuck with it and came out WINNERS. Not necessarily on the field but off the field.
