2019- 8th Grade is a Tough Year

There’s good news and bad news...The good news is you started this year off how you ended 2018; in the mix against top competition in the south. As a result of your success with Baseball Youth in 2018, you made another Baseball Youth Elite team for a tournament outside of Orlando. Jazzy and your Mom drive down with us and me and you drove down in January. You won another gold glove and had a solid performance in the field. 

In the summer you played for Splitfinger again, and had another solid season. You played as a guest for the Michigan Bulls and also The Shamrocks, where Ramsey Bousseau, a talented player from Oliver that you met in Florida, plays and invited you for a weekend in Grand Rapids. You played very well against the better competition, setting the tone for next year and high school! 

As soon as the season ended you and I went to DC for George Washington’s camp. You played very well there and liked the coach and also the campus. It was a good experience to prepare you for college showcases going forward.  

At the end of this summer you decided to play for the Michigan Bulls next season. We train there all the time and Sean had been wanting you there for a bit so we finally moved on from ole Bailey and your Haslett/Splitfinger baseball family. 🥲 This is a part of growing up though, time waits for no one! I’ve always told you the only constant in life is change, and that’s 100% true. 

I know you’ll do great in HS at West Bloomfield for Jerry Brown and for the Bulls in summer...
