Happy Mothers Day to all the moms associated with the VMS baseball program.

Thank you all for everything you have done for our program without your contributions it would not have been possible.

VMS baseball parents you can be very proud of your children tonight.
The way they conducted themselves tonight was beyond exceptional.

They may aggravate the living daylights out of me on the bus I know that is them playing around and having some fun. However when they are out in public they are polite and respectful.

That is a reflection of you and tonight they had fun.

Enjoy your weekend!!!

Now that our regular season has come to an end.
On behalf of every player that is part of the program.

Thank you to all the businesses that made investments into our program.

Thank you to all the parents, friends of players and the siblings that played a role working the gate and concession stand during our games.

I can't thank those who made the invitational we held enough for making it the success it was.
Without your willingness to work as hard as you did that wouldn't have happened.

To the people that have attended our games and purchased items from our concession stand those purchases and funds raised creates the budget and livelihood that allows us to operate.
For that I am grateful because in the end all of those funds goes towards the use for our kids.

To the parents and my 8th grade players, I can't say thank you enough. I have to apologize to all of you as I was making the walk back and forth with your gift baskets because I got a little emotional and tried my best to not let it show.
Make no mistake about it, as intense as I am and as hard as I can be I love each and everyone of you.

We're not finished yet, the second season starts Monday with the conference tournament.

Play hard, good things happen!!!

See you at the ballpark!!!
