Well this past week was our baseball tournament and I am so proud of the boys. For those that don't know my Papa and I coach the 11 and under baseball boys in my hometown. I ended up with 11 boys that are all truly special in my life. It is so awesome to see them at the first practice and watch them grow as an athlete and a young man. From working with them in the batting cage, to practice and to games - I loved seeing them each and every time I could. Yes, it involves a lot of time that is completely well worth it. One thing that is tough is the fact that I am so competitive and I find myself pushing them hard at times. But I know in the end my grandpa and I have the best intentions for them and just want them to be the men that we know they can be. The boys ended up 7-4 (3 losses to Okeene - who won the tournament) receiving 3rd place in the league tournament.

I would just like to thank everyone for the chance to do this! The parents are awesome! I have really enjoyed it the past two summers and hope to keep doing it! Thanks to my mom for putting up with me when I get way too into the game and for keeping the book awesomely! Thanks to my Papa who will forever be the greatest coach I ever had. He has taught me so much in life and I know there is still way more to come. Thanks to my dad, grandma, Aunt Amy, Kenzie, Uncle Brad and Ryan (Maverick too) for coming to the games and for supporting me! With love, K
Winners go Up - Not Down, Rails on 3.. 1,2,3 RAILS!
