The Raiders have been off to a slow start this year. With a
record of 11-13-3, that does not show all of what the players and coaches wanted the
beginning of this year to be like.
Coach Jon Bolton has been quoted as saying that the team has pitched very
well, but has struggled at the plate. The team shows signs of coming together as a
baseball team.
Top Hitters up to this point are: B.J. Richard (CHS) and Josh Abshier
(CHS)
Top Pitchers up to this point are: Paul Nigro (Runnels 2000) and Freddie
Calloway (Soutern)
Catcher Cody Carrier picked off 5 baserunners and threw out 2 more trying to steal at the
state tournament.

Coach Jon Bolton has gone on the record as saying, "It's
been an up and down summer. We hope to finish on a high note. We have been
very successful in finding the young men places to play college baseball. We are
improving in every aspect of the game. Although we lost 3 games at the state
tournament by 4 runs, I was pleased with the effort that the young men displayed.
Their effort qualified us for the world series."
