Caprock Baseball By: Matt Mendez & Edward Barrientez


After making the playoffs last year, we became more popular as a team,
and now this year we have about 83 players all together. We've never had
so many students try out. In fact, we have so many that we actually have
to cut people now .It'll be nice to have enough players for a full J.V.
varsity, and freshman team without having to worry about someone failing
or somehow becoming ineligible.
Due to graduation, we only lost four seniors last year in which only
three started. This year, we have another four seniors who will
hopefully step up and fill in for the ones we lost. If they don't, then
we have plenty more who are capable of doing so. On varsity, there are
approximately 24 players: 4 seniors, 1 maybe 2 freshmen, 2 sophomores,
and the rest are juniors. Hopefully if we all stick together, will be
able to make it to the playoffs, or even further in these next couple of
years.
