Fairfield, CA — BENING A FRESHMAN IN SCHOOL & PLAYING BASEBALL IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. I'M VERY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU BOYS , YOU PLAYED YOUR HEARTS OUT & NEVER QUIT. ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT.AND DON'T EVER LET ANYBODY CHANGE YOUR MIND OR TEASE YOU ABOUT QUITTING,THE SPORT. DON'T LISTEN TO SOMEONE THAT'S NEGATIVE , YOU NEED POSITIVE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE. YOU PLAY AS A TEAM & YOU WIN AS A TEAM & LOSE AS A TEAM. AND YOU GIVE IT YOUR ALL, DAY IN & DAY OUT. BUT YOUR SCHOOLING COMES FIRST, AND 1 DAY ALL OF YOU WILL BE PLAYING AS VARSITY PLAYERS AT VANDEN. SOMEDAY YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND SAY WE MADE IT THROUGH ALL THIS .AND ALL OF YOU WILL ALWAYS BE VIKINGS FOREVER. ALL OF YOU HAVE A GREAT SUPPORTING CAST . YOUR COACHES , YOUR PAENTS , AND ALL YOUR LOVE ONES. AND THEN YOU HAVE ME PAPA JOE .!!!!!!! VIKING 4 ever go viks
