BROOKS SPLITS WITH LANIER
THE JV TEAM LED BY 8TH GRADERS RYAN ALLEN AND DEE MAGBY ROLLED TO A 10-3 WIN OVER BROOKS. ALLEN WENT THE DISTANCE ALLOWING JUST A STRATCH INFIELD SINGLE AND STRIKING OUT 6. MAGBY WENT 3-3 FOR AT THE PLATE WITH 4 RBI'S. ALLEN HELPED HIS CAUSE WITH 2 HITS AND 2 RBI'S. SOPHOMORE WILL BRANCH DID THE REST OF THE DAMAGE WITH 2 DOUBLES AND 2 RBI'S. WILLIAM NEEL, JERMAINE JOHNSON AND KRIS BOYD ALSO SINGLED.
THE VARISTY TEAM PLAYED THE TROJANS TOUGH THROUGH 5 INNINGS BEFORE THINGS WENT BAD IN A HURRY. BROOKS LED 2-1 AFTER 5 WHEN STARTER JASON JOHNSON TIRED AND WALKED 3 TO START THE 6TH. DUSTIN HADSOCK FARED NO BETTER ALLOWING 3 CONSECUTIVE HITS. BJ LUCKY CAME IN TO PUT OUT THE FIRE BUT NOT BEFORE 7 RUNS SCORED TO MAKE IT 9-1. LANIER WAS LED BY ANDREW JOHNSON (2HITS), BJ LUCKY (1), DEREK WHITE(1-1 WITH 2 WALKS),DUSTIN HADSOCK (1 DOUBLE), AND SAM HILL (1).
WE JUST HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE BASICS AND KEEP WORKING THE FUNDAMENTALS. WE PLAYED PRETTY HARD GIVING UP 2 JUST UNEARNED RUNS IN THE 3RD BEFORE LOSING OUR FOCUS IN THE 6TH. HOPEFULLY WE CAN START PUTTING TOGETHER WHOLE GAMES WITHOUT ALOT OF DEFENSIVE BREAKDOWNS.
