Creekview Baseball

Baseball season has finally begun! After all of the anxiousness of waiting for the teams to be posted, the players finally get their chance to play the game. But with the new season comes new changes. Many people tried out this year to be part of the Creekview Grizzly Baseball team. There was one difference this year, the players would be put into two teams and not three like the years before. So this year the players had to put even more into trying to be the best that they can be. On top of it all, try outs were more difficult. Not only because of the increased competition with the new freshmen trying out, but also because the weather did not allow the players to be on the field for almost a week. However this still did not stop the athletes from giving their all 100% of the time. “The weather affected us a lot during try outs. It rained for almost the whole week which stuck us at the indoor batting cages for a while. It took away a huge amount of our field time, but once we had the slightest chance to take the field we took advantage of it,” says baseball Head Coach Mike Nayman. This small set back gave the players less time to practice for their first game of the season on February 21st, which fell on the February break. The varsity baseball team had to work hard and take advantage of what time they had to prepare themselves. Sadly this was not enough to help the team defeat their opponent, Cherokee High School. After losing 7-2, the players can only work harder to better themselves for the next time they play Cherokee. One loss means nothing though, because the Grizzlies have the rest of the season to prove that they can be invincible. Written by: Amber Herrington
