My last CCHS baseball tweet, bittersweet to say the least...I step aside fully understanding it was a privilege to coach for 30 years at Central. Great players make successful coaches. Thank you to the supportive families who made the years very special. I'm retiring, THANK YOU.
Tough loss to a great team in a big game...no one wants to lose the last one...a terrific season, one for the ages, sorry it had to end. Special thanks to our senior class, 4 MVC titles and 2 Super-8 appearances. Thank you to all who supported the TEAM. ⚾️
I miss the game and coaching/being around my guys a ton but for now all we can do is be socially responsible and look after each other. Take care of elders/youngsters, get rest, eat well/exercise. We will be together again soon. Hang in there/Be Well.
