Huffman-Jasper Series a Final Note

[theoldman]

It was a fun series to watch. Both crowds supported their respective teams. Jasper has a very good club and represented their community with class. In particular, Will Alvis. Will is a fine example of what all parents should hope and wish their kids to grow up and be like. Will is a great kid both on and off the field. He was put in a tough position and competed to the very end. In fact, it looked like the whole team competed to the last out. Not being from Jasper, and being just an observer for a few games, I think the parents, coaches and community of Jasper should be very proud of their baseball team. There is an old saying in baseball circles that goes something like this "Baseball does not build character, it reveals character". Parents and coaches of Jasper, be proud of your kids, they certainly demonstrated a lot of character on Saturday. Good luck to all the Jasper players as they move forward in life.

Likewise, I wish the very best to the Huffman players, their family, and school. For a while, it looked very difficult for Huffman, but they persevered and things finally fell their way. They deserved the wins and will be formiddable competition as they move forward in the playoffs.

Huffman's bat awoke Sat. and Jasper's never did...due to very good pitching by Huffman. They should compete very well against Hudson.
