Parents, students, and fans of Pirate Baseball and Softball,

I would like to thank you for coming to tonight’s game. Your participation and support of our students and coaches is what keeps this program so enriching for our school.

We believe that athletic competition builds character and encourages our students to work through challenges as part of a team. Many of the lessons learned on the playing field today become important building blocks for the future of our young athletes’ lives. Our program strives to promote and reinforce principles of good sportsmanship, and while our philosophy holds that sports are very important, they are only one portion of our total educational program.

We are immensely grateful for all the support you give to our excellent teams. Finally, a special “THANK YOU” to all the Sponsors who are supporting Braden River High School by advertising in our media guide. We truly appreciate your contribution.

GO PIRATES!

It is with great pride that I welcome you to the stands for what is sure to be another memorable

season of Braden River High School softball. After weeks full of tough practice and building team

relationships, we enter this spring with high hopes. I encourage you to support our players and coaches

in any way you can, and I thank you for your participation in the game tonight.

Our goal is to build and improve upon an athletic program that enriches our students through hard work,

cooperation, and enthusiasm. We are constantly impressed by the dedication shown by our players and

cannot wait to see what they are capable of not only during tonight’s game, but into the future as well.

On behalf of the softball program, I would also like to thank GameDay Media and the local business sponsors

for their help in supporting our efforts in creating such a high-quality program. Please consider supporting our

sponsors with your business and be sure to thank them for supporting Braden River Softball.

Lastly, to those who have supported us in the past and to those who are supporting us now, to our sponsors,

our community, our administration, our families and friends, we say THANK YOU!

GO PIRATES!

Let me first off say how much of an honor and how grateful I am to be afforded the opportunity to be Head Baseball Coach at such a great institution like Braden River. It is our goal as a staff

to continue to the tradition and build the program and the young men in our program. We are confident that with the dedication to our core values we will not just have better baseball players, but well-rounded young men ready for the next phase of their lives.

The pillars of which our program stands for are:

SERVANTHOOD, HUMILITY, APPRECIATION, PASSION, TOGETHERNESS.

We believe that Servanthood is helping those around you and looking for opportunities to help someone get better. We will be humble in how we carry ourselves and remember C.S. Lewis’s quote “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less.” We recognize we have something special and will continue to show our appreciate for that by our actions and words. The passion we show will be what drives us and gives us the purpose for why we do, what we do. We will be a family, that stands with and for one another. These core values encapsulates what we believe to be important, and to be necessary for personal success.

As our parents, fans and supporters we want to thank you for your help in making this program continue to be such a great place for development. We hope that you continue to show your enthusiasm and support as we enter the 2020 Baseball season. Go Pirates!
