Westbury Rebels: My Site News: From Houston Chronicle - March 25, 2009
Thursday, March 26From Houston Chronicle - March 25, 2009
The Westbury baseball team has operated under the radar for most of the season, but the Rebels could be one of the favorites in District 21-4A.
Westbury head coach Derrick Taylor has a talented squad that could challenge Waltrip and Davis for the league title.
“I really love this team,” Taylor said. “Our team unity is great. The kids are all outstanding student-athletes. It’s been a lot of fun coaching them.”
The Rebels (4-2, 2-0) dropped all four games in the Houston Christian Baseball Classic last month, but Westbury crushed District 21-4A foes Yates and Reagan, winning by respective scores of 17-0 and 8-3.
Senior Jeffrey Davidoff, a transfer from Lamar, has been a nice addition. Davidoff, a shortstop/pitcher, leads the Rebels with a .389 average and has emerged as Westbury’s main closer.
Senior left-hander Tyler Keever is the Rebels’ No. 1 pitcher and continues to improve with every start.
Other standouts include senior right fielder/pitcher Marcus Haynes, junior second baseman/pitcher Jake Freudenberger and freshman third baseman/pitcher Matthew Harding.
All eyes will be on Westbury when the Rebels face Davis at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Knoblauch Field.
The Rebels are making some noise! Come out and support your team.
