Celebrating the effort in the community of where it all starts... Celebrating the desire of this game... Celebrating the commitment in the classroom that sets the stage of how we do things the rest of our lives. In the community, in the classroom and on the field... it's not too far from the reality of life. WE WILL FAIL that's what is the tough thing about this game... failure... to see the bigger picture we must learn to embrace the failure...(the SUCK). WE NEED TO LEARN TO TRUST IN OUR PEOPLE, TEAM=FAMILY. TO SURROUND OURSELVES WITH LIKE MINDEDNESS, TO EMBRACE THE MOMENTS THAT BRING US TOGETHER FROM THE DEPTHS OF FAILURE TO THE HIGHEST OF SUCCESS'! SUPPORTING EVERYONE, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL.... BECAUSE THAT INDIVIDUAL DIDN'T GET THERE WITHOUT THE BOND OF THEIR BROTHERHOOD.
I'm proud of this group of young men, from all this success that you see in these pictures, or if you made the effort to come to a training or game, this didn't happen without one of these guys picking another up from the depth of struggle! In these pictures, you see the love and bonds that were created over their journey as Ukiah High School Baseball teammates. Without their leadership from within and from the coaches we wouldn't have the success nor the successful culture in Wildcat Baseball.
We need to congratulate your efforts... and I also want to congratulate our coaches for never wavering from the high expectations of what this game asks of each individual who plays this game.
Sterling Wright II, Jack Brown, Tano Garza, Antonio Lopez, Adrian Villalpando, Jason Page, Chase Gordon, Mickey Caughlin, John Corripo and Dave Kornegay~ thank you for making this place a powerful place, a place these boys will always remember... thank you coaches for being there for them on and off the field. The time spent away from your families, showing what serving other's truly means. YOU ARE ALL PILLARS of UKIAH VALLEY and I thank you for your service of others!!
Congratulations Wildcats...truly a beautiful season of accomplishments and growth!
