So here we gomy third installment of blogging in this class. I will continue with my baseball updates for you guys.
I am currently packing my clothes for the long weekend trip to Jacksonville FL. To take on the University of Jacksonville Dolphins. I can not wait to get on the road down there and play somebody. I am so sick of have having to play my own teammates I am ready to have someone else in another uinform to play against.
We will arrive Thursday night. Wake up on Friday with our first game of the new season at 4 oclock. Then Saturday we will wake up and play at 1 and Sunday at 1 also. I have told that I am starting the Sunday game this weekend. I am so excited to play that I do not know if I will be able to sleep tomorrow night.
Our coaches re ready to go and so are we. I just can not wait to start because before you know it, it is over. Well I need to keep packing and get ready for the trip but I hope that you all come out to watch us at our home opener next Friday. It would be great to see you guys.

The New Season
So last time in my post I told you guys a little bit about myself and my life. I pointed out that I play baseball and was fortunate enough to get drafted last year but decided to come back. I am so glad I did to because I love this time of year. It's a time that the Diamond Hawks are taking flight and getting ready for a long season.
Just to give everyone a little background about your team. We are coming off a 31-23 season last year and lost only one senior. So basically we return everyone from last years club. We have been picked to finish second in the conference behind James Madison University. This is kind of a slap in the face because they did not even make it to the conference tournament last year and we made it to the finals before losing to Georgia State. Not to mention that we also started the year 19-3 a school record.
So far this year we have been just scrimmaging each other and are itching to start playing against someone else. We open up the season in two weeks on the 19th in Jacksonville FL. against Jacksonville University. Then we come back for seven straight weekends of home games. Starting that off with the Hughs Bros. Challenge against Liberty, Lehigh and Morehead State. Overall we have a good chance to do really well early and carry it into the whole season.
As for me personally I have started in a few scrimmages and done well. Some rain has pushed back our normal routine but that happens sometimes. I am really ready to kick off this season and get to playing with my teammates. This group of guys has a lot of potential and have become very close with each other. We are ready to play.
Lastly I want to encourage you all to come out and watch. I know it can be cold a lot of nights early on but we as players really do love to see the stands filled and cheering for us. It means a lot to us and I think it is fun for you guys to.
