Midwest Weather Curse

It seems every spring there is a guarantee that every sport will have to cancel games or matches because of the weather. Baseball, soccer, and track all had to cancel tournaments due to poor weather/field conditions. Spring is fun and all, but playing sports that could be canceled due to poor weather is a curse all in itself. Personally, we should just play in the rain anyway. That's why they invented ponchos.

New Approach Brings High Hopes
Liberty's Baseball team looks for new leadership over last year's disastrous season. 

 

  "Starting over with a clean slate" would describe the mindset of Liberty High's Baseball team in 2008. Last year held average expectations from the players but as the season progressed, the lack of motivation and leadership was astounding. Seniors of 07 gave little to no leadership to the young sophomores who were experiencing their first year of varsity baseball thus showing in Liberty's record and early elimination from the district tournament held on Liberty's home turf. So this year the team is preparing to win as many games as possible and emphasizing the true meaning of the word "team". Even the JV squad is emphasizing teamwork and trying to build a high team chemistry early in the season. The selection process of deciding this year's teams was difficult yet necessary in the eyes of all those involved. This year will bring better leadership and provide the necessary building blocks of building another state championship caliber team.
