Anyway when Carbon and Emeijr get togher everyone always plays better" At the current rate, Carbon's team la on it's way totts best Benson staal907, when the team went undefeated to region day and went to the state tournament That team was also ranked second to the state, but lost to their second game at the tournament to Snow Canyon, wbo, incidentally is currently ranked as the top team to the state 3A ranks. That was a great team, said assistant coach TtoyMoyider who. was also Involved with that team. That team had good bats,' and so. does this one. Our pitching this year Is probably deeper. So far this home league season . the team has had Jewkea, Josh Greenwood and Blake Wilde pitch while being relieved by Martinez. Most schools would kill to have Just one of those pitchers. And the Dtooi have other good pitchers as wen. Many teams would tihde their entire pitching staff for some of these ; guys.
