Congratulations to the Broncos on our first regular season win! We played the Bennett Park Orange Broncos (not to be confused with the Blue Broncos) this Saturday, and came out on top as 11-7 winners. Way to go, boys!
Coach Kyle started a new Blue Broncos tradition on Saturday. Immediately following each game, the coaches will name an MVP for that particular game. The MVP will receive a game ball and (drum roll...) a packet of Skittles! Saturday's MVP was Nolan Wood. Nolan played first base during the last inning, and did a fantastic job of remaining focused and determined, and we were impressed by both.
Also this weekend, we implemented a helmet sticker rewards program. The program is similar to the one frequently used by college football programs. Essentially, for every hit, put-out, or great play, our boys will receive a smiley-face sticker to place on their helmets. We'll distribute the stickers during our post-game wrap-up, and all of the boys will receive recognition in one way or another. We handed out quite a few stickers this weekend, and we're looking forward to passing out even more as the season progresses.
A few game highlights...
Saturday's game was a remarkable improvement over Friday night's. The boys remained more or less glued to their spots in the infield (there were no dog-piles on Saturday!), and they absolutely lit it up at the plate. Ben Garosi even had our team's first TRIPLE! Congratulations, Ben!
Other great plays came from Bentley Wheeler, who had another solid outing at the pitcher spot by tagging (or forcing) out several runners at Home. Chris Johnston also had our first unassisted put-out at a base other than Home or First, by fielding a ground ball at forcing out a runner at Second. Way to go, Chris and Bentley!
Our next game will be Tuesday night at 6:00. The game will be played at Coal Mountain on Field 3. See you all there!
