The JV baseball team suffered a series of rainouts earlier this month and late last month.According to Toby Steele, Head JV Baseball Coach, the team has not had the opportunity to establish its record solidly.
“This is the first season I have seen so many rainouts in a row,” Steele said.“It’s not fun but we just have to deal with it. It’s out of our control, so we do the best we can with what we have,” outfielder and junior Evan Butz said.
As many as 11 games had been cancelled as of last week, and the team ended its season yesterday against Lawrence Central.
During the rainouts, the JV team resorted to practice indoors, but Steele said that there was only so much practice that could be handled indoors.
Steele said, “Because the cancellations were generally last-minute, facilities were often occupied by then, so we resorted to conditioning in the hallways, for example.”
“We were never happy about rainouts,” Scott Thompson, pitcher, first-basemen and sophomore, said. “However, we did practice a lot and that helped keep our spirits up.” By Faith Mwalwa
