[dropcap style=”simple” size=”4″]H[/dropcap]ead Coach Justin Towe has high hopes for the baseball team as it prepares to play Boonville today, following a strong start to their season (3-0). The March 22 game offers the Bruins a challenging opponent, Towe said.
“Even though they’re one of the smaller schools they’re one of the toughest schools in the state,” Towe said. “They have big time players ever year. it’s never an easy game.”
Towe and team members expect to see payoff for their intensive preparation. Junior Spencer Miles, a member of both the varsity baseball team, treats the game like any other.
“Every game is a big game to us,” Miles said. “We prepare the same whether we are playing the best or the worst team.”
The Bruins hope their one-size-fits-all approach to preparation will lead to success this season. Towe and seniors on the team share a common drive for the season: another district title.
“Our goal every year is to win district championship,” Towe said. “That’s what we shoot for, that’s what we works towards. We’ve been out of it a couple of years hopefully we can get back to it.”
