Coach Zac Clay said the players may be young, but they’ve put in the hard work and effort. No matter what happens at the World Series, he said, the community is proud of their achievements this year.
“We’re super proud of these boys, every one of them. They worked really hard. They did good in rec season, and that’s why they’re where they are right now,” he said. “They’ve all improved steadily over the last few weeks, and they worked really hard, and we’re really looking forward to going and doing our best.”
Clay said it has been a long time since a West Lauderdale team reached the World Series, and the celebration, send off and competition itself will be something the boys remember for the rest of their lives.
