Jaxson had an outstanding baseball season! He decided he wanted to play on the competitive league this year and had to tryout to make the team. As luck would have it, he made one of the teams; even better, his best friend Jacob made the same team. We had some new coaches this year, so we were really nervous about what this season would bring. Overall it was a good experience for Jaxson, it wasn't the same as past seasons (we really missed our old coaches and teammates from prior years). Jaxson did excel this year and we watched him grow a lot! We played second base, short stop, third base and center field. Coach K consistently said that he loved Jaxson because he could play him anywhere on the field because of his ability to catch the ball. We loved watching him make some great plays this year. He continued to be consistent up to bat as well, whether he hit the ball or was walked (he did get hit a couple times by the pitcher, but nothing like the previous season in the chest) he got on base. In fact during the middle of the season he was bumped up to the first batter in the line up.
He ended the season with a tournament in which he played his old coaches team from Herriman, he was so excited when they won the game. His team ended up in the championship game, unfortunately it came down to the last inning and his team lost. He was still excited when they took home huge trophies!
I know Jaxson and I were both sad to see the season end.
