WR Farmer Baseball: Third in State

I had an amazing year in my first spring season as an assistant coach with Wheat Ridge. I feel fortunate to be able to have been a part of it all, and am proud of the boys for a damn good season. We went 18-6 and finished third in state after losing in the semi-finals to the eventual state champion Cheyenne Mountain Indians (Colorado Springs). It was a heartbreaking loss, but a few days later now, I'm starting to realize our accomplishments and the fun that made it all worth it. From a week in Phoenix this spring to the state playoff run, it's been more than an exciting ride. Adam and John are incredible coaches and I appreciate them welcoming me to the team. Learning the tradition of excellence and winning is what makes the legacy of Wheat Ridge Farmer baseball. It's difficult to let go of a season that ended like that and even harder to say goodbye to all the dynamic seniors we'll be losing. But, some of them will go on to play college ball (and some further), and they all will leave as better men. Good luck Marv, Arty, Park, G, Duffer, JB, and Hondo. I'll see the rest of you on the diamond this summer...
