About:
Section 1 has always done a strike out cancer game and we have always done something. This year we have 2 former alumni parents and 1 current who are battling a form of cancer. The game was supposed to play played on Saturday but unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and one of our alumni parents was unable to attend the game on Monday. We hope that we can get him to come to our final home game on Saturday to honor him.
On this particular day we honored one of our parents who is currently battling breast cancer her daughter is a sophomore on the team and both teams wore pink in honor of those who are battling or have battled breast cancer. our shirts said strike out cancer for all those who are battling cancer.
It is a great reminder that life is bigger than sports but sports is a way to tie us together. It is through sports that teammates and their families become one big family. Its a big support system and there is no time like now to be a support system for those who may need it.
