Jacskon Christian---State Champions

[12yr.oldchamps]

Congrats to the Eagles. It takes a team with a great coach and a team with the best attitude on and off the field to be the champs.

Congrats to JCS. They were no doubt the best team yesterday. That was a hitting clinic in the 3rd. Good luck seniors and wear that ring proudly. The 2 best teams were definitely there.

We moved to Tennessee two years ago today. My son Isaac was going to run away and go back to Florida. He wouldn't leave his room. I made him play summer ball with the baseball team---his attitude got a little better---then I made him play football... He played on a State Championship football team his first year in football. He got to the State Championship in baseball. His first year here he played in two state championships. That doesn't happen very often. By the end of the year his best friends were the boys in the class of 2008. He was accepted like he had gone to JCS forever.

 

Then this year he had the opportunity to thrive on the football field and he chose to go to Lambuth over Harding because he doesn't want to leave home... Get that... In two short years Jackson has become home. It is because of the friends he has made from the class of 2008. When he broke his ankle, it broke his heart and his Dad's as I know all of you are tired of hearing... While he didn't get to play this year the sport he has always loved the most he was still there to experience it with his teammates as they won a State Championship yesterday. So as a father I want to say "thank you" to a fine group of young men: Patrick, Tanner, Blake, Chase, Ryan, Luke, Philip, Chase, Ben, Ed, Josh, Matt, David... got to go back and pull some of last year's fellas---Clay, Greg, Michael... All of you have been in our home---it has been an interstate for two years and I hope it stays the same... It's always a mystery who and how many are going to be at the house each day... I think you guys are unique and have built a bond that will never be broken. I expect you to be friends through life.

 

I also want to thank the parents of these fine young men for your friendship and your influence on my son. Finally, I want to say thanks to the men who have helped show him what true manhood is... It starts at the top... Scott Gatlin, Coach Stewart, Coach Cooper, Coach P, Coach Hudson, Coach Warren, Coach Carson, Coach Morris...

 

What a Ride! Isaac has moved a lot. He was born in California---moved to Georgia---then Florida--- but this is home! Thanks to all of you!!!

 

to me ...THIS IS WHAT HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS IS ALL ABOUT

Congrats to J.C.S..

[JaxMan]

thanks for all of the kind words...West Tenn Baseball had a lot to be proud of...not just our squad...Huntington was awesome as was Bolivar, Ripley, Arlington, Bartlett and USJ...there is a lot of great baseball played on this end of the state...thanks to the seniors on all the teams who gave us so much to cheer about for the last four years...

Since all sorts of thanks are going out, I'll join in. I would like to thank all of the Senior parents. You have been wonderful and all of the cheers that you have done helped make the games special. Mrs. Christy has been a wonderful cheerleader. Mr. Perkins has been "gracious" enough to help the umpires make the right calls at the home games which brings in even more to the home field atmosphere at Murrell Haase Field. All of the other moms and dads have done so much to help the team out.
