Skyline Varsity vs Redmond Mustangs

Woodinville High School  4PM

Redmond 7  Skyline 0

Game Summary:  The 2011 Skyline Varsity Baseball season drew to a close on a glorious spring afternoon that we have all waited for the entire season.  The Spartan Nine faced a powerful Redmond Mustang team that they had defeated 2 weeks ago on their home field but on this day were never able to mount a challenge against their opponent.

A baseball season tends to always be measured in wins and losses but there are so many other ways to watch a group of teenage young men go through a season that starts with winter workouts in December and finishes up with a season that was one win away from a trip to the State tournament which is what this team found itself in on Monday night against the Newport Knights.  The parents and fans of the 2011 Spartan Baseball team extend a sincere thank you to all involved with the Skyline baseball program for giving us reasons to brave a spring season of terrible weather conditions to watch a season of baseball where individuals made decisions to support each other as a team, challenge themselves to work through the disappointments a season of baseball will unavoidably bring and accept their successes as motivation to continue to improve on their performances.

We also thank the coaches of the Varsity, JV and Freshman teams for their support of the players throughout the season and the commitment to our players and the program.  The 2011 season will have memories that will last with these players and families for a long time.

We wish our Senior players all the best in their next steps in their lives.  We look forward to the continued involvement of our underclassmen and future Spartans and we encourage all Spartan families to continue their help in efforts to make the Spartan baseball program an example of competitiveness and respect within the Kingco conference.
