Nobody likes to lose—but it’s in those moments, right here, that the foundation of winning is built. The more you feel this, the more it fuels you. The more you come up short, the more you understand just how much you want it.
Today, these boys battled. They fought long and hard. They didn’t back down. Every inning, every pitch, every play—you gave everything you had. And even though the scoreboard didn’t go our way in Round 1, that does not define who you are or what this team represents.
What defines you is the effort. The grit. The way you showed up for each other. That matters—and it always will.
To every player—thank you. Thank you for leaving it all out there. Thank you for representing your team, your school, and each other with heart.
And to our seniors… this is never an easy moment. You’ve poured years into this game, into this program, into being leaders for the guys beside you. You’ve set the standard. You’ve left your mark. And no loss can ever take that away.
We wish you nothing but the best in what comes next. Carry this game with you—the lessons, the discipline, the fight. Because those things will take you far beyond the field.
This one hurts. It should. But remember—this feeling, this moment—it’s part of the journey. It’s what builds winners.
Hold your heads high. Be proud.
Because today, even in defeat, you showed what it means to compete.
