JV Baseball Update

By Grant G., Will H. and Clay K.

This spring our NCCS JV baseball team has completely owned the other schools!! JV baseball has a record of 3-2 with the first loss being an exhibition game with one day as a team.  Two of JV baseball’s impressive wins were against St. Luke’s and Greenwich Country Day School.  In the St. Luke’s game the team was down 0-4, but later the JV team came back to win 10-8.  In the GCDS game they were up 5-0, morale was low, but JV didn’t give up.  After some tough playing and some great plays, JV managed to end the game with a victory of 9-8 with the final run hit in by J. P. Sloan.
As a whole, teamwork and sportsmanship on the JV team has been outstanding.  The players are always focused in games and during practice.  The only exception was a single fun Friday where there was some goofing off and a lack of focus; but hey, a coach-on-coach-on-coach rivalry tends to do that to kids. 
Unfortunately, the most recent of JV’s games ended in disaster, a loss of 4-20.  When you combine the grogginess of a Monday and a good team like Brunswick, JV was at an obvious disadvantage.  Despite being nearly flattened by Brunswick, JV managed to keep their morale up and scored one run in their last at bat.  Hopes are high for JV baseball’s future games and the rest of the season will no doubt be filled with wins.
