Baseball Season got into FULL swing last Thursday with Tabor and the varsity hanging 15 runs on LeCenter/Cleveland and Dalton and the 8th grade team hanging on in the last inning for a 6 to 5 victory. Tabor wears double zero and will be patrolling the outfield for the Raiders this spring. Tabor was 2 for 3 in the opener with a walk, 2 RBI's and 3 runs scored. He was lifted int he 4th inning so the freshman could get some varsity playing time (with no JV game coach brought the freshmen/sophomore with).

Dalton wears #7, just like his favorite baseball player (Joe Mauer) and plays catcher. Dalton will be playing with the 8th grade team and the JV this year, there are seven 8th graders that will be playing up to help fill out the JV along with the 3 freshmen and 1 sophomore, needless to say they will take a few lumps this year on the JV squad, but with 8 seniors on the varsity, these 8th graders will need that JV experience as they will be called upon to play varsity next year.

Tanner has 2 track meets in so far this season and he is enjoying himself. He runs the 800 and what ever relay the coaches ask him to. He ran in the 4X400 relay on Friday and declares anyone that enjoys the 400 as crazy (After telling him his grandpa and uncle John both ran the 400 he was sure he was correct) but it may have had something to do with running the 800 10 minutes before the relay and missing a week of practice due to the Chicago trip and the auction. Looking forward to outdoor track meets as Tanner has been practicing for the pole vault and has been waiting to unleash his new skills after getting some outdoor practice in a real pole vault pit.
