Senior Night has Come and Gone

Senior Night has Come and Gone

On April 29, 2014, the senior baseball players had to play their last home game on the South Doyle High School baseball field. Playing against Jefferson County, the boys pulled out a strong win for the seniors to leave with. The final score being 5-1, all the seniors were very excited but gloomy with the win.  Every single teammate played their absolute best to send the seniors off with a victory. Since it was the last game for the boys, every senior was recognized prior to the game. Connor Gregory, Blake Stansberry, and Riley Dyer were the only three seniors on the team this year. Each one of these young men has played all four years of high school baseball. Practically being brothers, each one was depressed to be playing their last game together ever.

Senior Connor Gregory mentions, “ The last home game was so bitter sweet for all of us.”

Gregory went out with a bang when the night before senior night, they played Bearden and he hit a 3 run homerun to help the team win the game 18-6. Junior Brody Rollins says he learned one most important thing from the seniors, “Play like you have an apple in your shoe.” This is one quote every single player on the baseball team says but no one else understands. Being a family is something the senior boys accomplished this year because no matter where one of the teammates is at, there is always another one with them. Going out with a great record, the senior boys are depressed but happy at the same time due to graduating. Senior night was a success for the South Doyle baseball team, especially the seniors. Leaving with a high record and with a respected name, the boys are ready to start their future life.
