Congrats to both teams . As has been previously stated, it is a shame that somebody had to loose by score. Don't know when I have seen two teams lay more down than what I saw last night. The Blackcats left fielder put it down on two catches that were ESPN worthy. Coach Simpkins and his staff have I am sure made the Blackcat faithful proud and have absolutely nothing to be taken back about this season. The Blackcats will be heard from in many years to come. "The Miller Years" What can you say ? They started 2 eight graders,2 Freshmen and a Soph. I believe, with a 7th grader contributing heavily. Very difficult to pick a player they all complemented each other so well. I cannot close without mentioning the play of catcher and Freshman Gabe Burchell. The kid stepped in this year by perhaps necessity and has played way farther than his years. Don't know when I have seen a freshman catcher respond the way this kid does.Miller and Daniels (8th graders) WOW!!!!! A very special thanks to the teams for an exciting game.

Charlie I have heard this all year about this kids ability behind the plate. He moves great and receives the ball as well as anybody around. I think these young kids stepping up the way they did as everyone on the team did gives alot of optimisim going forward. I know it was just one game but you have to think of the maturity of these kids. You had an eighth grader tie it up with two outs in the seventh?{I think} and another flying around the infield knocking down balls and a huge pick at first to secure extra innings is just something else for these kids to gain confidence. Who knows what happens tomorrow night but this may have been a stepping stone game for that entire team.
Thanks for the Pburg stats as well, its always good to have any team in the region to represent outside of it as well as Pburg has done, congrats to coach simpkins and his entire team.
