STALLION COMMUNITY COMMENTS

"It is hard to sum up this season in just a few words, but there is not one individual that saw that end result coming.  Besides our Sectional tournament win, every other tournament game was decided by 1 or 2 runs.  We played 19 innings in 2 district games and came from behind in both to win.  We got hot at the right time and began to see that we can win every game we play.  They competed and played loose as we were just young enough to not fully understand the magnitude of what we were doing.  They took DeSales baseball to a whole new level!"
