Coaches comment – “The team is excited to have a chance to get back out on the field and compete this year. They worked hard during the conditioning and throwing last week and have been putting in a lot of effort this week for tryouts/practices. The returning players are taking the newcomers under their wings and showing them the things necessary to carry on the Foxcroft Baseball tradition.”
