Regional Championship against James River my senior year and we absolutely pounded them.

What is one of your favorite memories of Cosby Baseball?

Best memory would be all the talent that was around for 4 years and even after but we were very blessed too all be able too learn bits and pieces of the game and life from one another.

How did Cosby Baseball help shape or prepare you for your future?

It set a standard of expectations that required a willingness to win at all cost and too stand up for one another and too play as hard as you can possible can. Take care of the little things and the big things were taken care of.
