Dustin's High School baseball team had another great season. Plagued with rain throughout the final weeks we were not sure if we would ever be able to finish the season. The Valley View players got very efficient at "tarping a field".
Many games were delayed, some were completely cancelled and one we even started at one field and then moved across town to another field to finish because of the rain. But through it all Valley View played great and came out State Champions again. The team played well together and everyone stepped up and did their job. The coach commented in the newspaper one time that with this team he could also have won the Quiz Bowl Championship because they are not just good athletes but a group of really smart guys. The State Championship game was played in Fayetteville at the University of Arkansas Razorback Stadium. We played Shiloh Christian which is a private school that is known to recruit players. Valley View wasn't necessarily the favorite to win the game - but they surprised them all and won 5-0.
Kannon was ready to cheer the team on - he kept asking when they were going to do the "dogpile"
The "Dogpile"
Proud of their big brother
We were glad that Grandmama and Grandaddy got to come watch the game. Nana and Papa also came. Dustin had quite the cheering section.
Way to go Blazers! We are proud of you Dustin!

That final game sure was fun. What a season with all the rain. Sorry we didn't get to see more but it seemed it was always raining! Hope to see some legion games this summer. Dustin sure is an exciting player, does what needs to be done. MOM
