SV got a couple of key transfer as well as more local boys showed up for the program. Enthusiasm for a new well respected coach goes along way.
Just curious, did Sierra vista get an influx of kids, any legit transfers? I saw them twice last year and they looked pretty terrible, a coach can improve a team, but unless he’s got a penny or booth not really sure how much better they can be.
Teams flying under the radar: West Covina, Sierra Vista, Bonita, Covina, South Hills,California.
Hank is saying he sucked at golf !!
I know the feeling
That’s why GOLF, of all things, is more exciting than baseball. I’d rather watch Hank Aaron hit a golf ball 3000 times in one afternoon than wait 17 years for it to happen at the ball park.
