Saints-Panthers win the AABC regional qualifier held at HBU

The team went 5-0 scoring over 40 runs with an explosive offense with every player contributing multiple hits and RBI’s.
The Panther pitching staff shut down their opponents and all 6 Panther pitchers deserve credit with multiple appearances and victories. Panther’s defense did manage to turn multiple double plays over the weekend and even one triple play in the championship game on Sunday.

 The boys have been fun to coach and I have enjoyed watching them grow over the last few months. This is an exciting group because they all go to the same high school (Ridge Point High School) and will be competing in their first varsity season in the 24 4A district next spring.  
The Panthers are ready and are heading to Dallas to play in the AABC tournament next week.
