This juniors baseball squad will be playing together for the first time next week. The team is set to face Lake Wales from Monday, June 27, through Thursday, June 30.
Although Trevor Gaudet is listed as team manager, the juniors squad is led by a committee of Gaudet, Jimmy and Johnny Davis. All three men believe that, despite the lack of experience playing together, this team is capable of big things.
“At the beginning of the season, they weren’t getting their bats on the ball as much,” Jimmy Davis said. “Here, closer to the end of the season, everybody’s been hitting the ball. It’s good to see the kids get the bat on the ball.”
The juniors’ batting and defense, according to the coaches, will carry the team far if everything goes according to plan. How far, exactly?
“We can go all the way,” Johnny Davis said. “North Carolina bound. If they all play well together, I think we can go well into the playoffs.”
