Cody Holder Invitational

The Cody Holder Invitational was a HUGE success! "Thank you" to everyone who helped make it happen. It was a long weekend, but well worth it.

I am proud of how we played Saturday against a very good Avery Trace team. To get a victory on such a big night, with Cody throwing out the first pitch, and with all of the emotions in the air, took alot of concentration and focus. I thought it was really cool to see all of the teams who came back to the field to participate in the pre-game ceremony. Some of these guys played against Cody and these coaches watched him pick apart their team while pitching for us. "Thanks" to those teams. There were not many dry eyes in the house. It took a great amount of courage to do what Cody did, I am very proud of him. He is a true "Red Raider"! It was also great to hear Mark back on the microphone, he sure makes it fun for the parents and the players.

This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we may have broke a record of past playday tournaments. Thanks to the parents who gave up their weekend for the team, and thanks to the players, there were several who worked whether they were on the schedule or not. That kind of dedication is good to see, and sets a good example for the younger guys. And thanks to the teams and their fans who came and played, without them it would not be a success.

Lets get the season started,
