I thank God for putting us all here and giving us this opportunity- I think He placed these young men on this team; I think He placed these coaches together; I think He placed this administration together, fans, families. I think He definitely had the biggest hand in all of this
These young men comfort one of my sons because he hurts knowing they are gone. So thankful for the example and their love of my children, but feel that I’m losing 15 of my own. As a coach, we are suppose to help/teach them - amazing how they push me to be better. Thank you
What a ride! Thankful for these young men and their families. These guys set the goal of a National Championship, but more importantly they believed they could achieve it. They never wavered and grew closer and closer during the year. They are Champions - FOREVER

No doubt in my mind,
@NCAA
has made decisions strictly based on money. My prayer is that
@NJCAA
will wait and make a decision when the time is right. So many people will be affected by this decision. If possible, “Let ‘em Play.” “Let them finish.”

Lucky and thankful to have these guys in the dugout with me. Appreciate all they do for our program and players - Greatly appreciate their friendship and loyalty. “Surround yourself with good people.” Thank you

Enjoy your Dad today.
In this pic, he is telling me one of his famous one-liners “Practice!”
Miss all his short phone calls.
“Get your head up” click
“Fastball” click
“Hardest part is staying there” click
“Call your momma” click
“SOAP” click
“I love you, son” click
Wow. Throughout this year, I have told the guys countless times He is always there.
These young men will press on (Philippians 3:13-14). Heart hurts, but so proud of who they are. They will be missed. What a ride.
So thankful my sons want to be just like them

Tough part of the job…had our World Series game tonight at field and missed my 2 boys playing across town. First time Tucker pitched to big brother, Brooks -Brooks got best of him. I called Kayla and told her to tell Tuck to put one btw his shoulder blades next AB

As I was cutting grass yesterday, my incredibly smart sons discovered a very cost efficient drag for all artificial surfaces. Not real sure it will pass safety standards, but aren’t they just brilliant

Pretty cool moment to share with

(we both would’ve loved to have

Tough to see him leave....no doubt, he will continue to do great things. Appreciate the job he did with our guys and appreciate him being with us during the last 3 years as a coworker and more people importantly as a friend. Best of luck to Anthony, Erika, and Ace!
Had someone stop me this morning and ask, “Did I serve?” I responded, “I did not, but my Dad did. He was a Marine.” Thank you Dad and all other veterans for your sacrifices. Miss you Dad

Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday and late last night. Most impressive, I looked up in the 7th in game 2 and you were still there. Special place

I keep hearing...”it is just like the flu, but not as bad.” “It’s less contagious and is toughest on the sick and elderly.” I haven’t noticed anyone saying otherwise or contradicting these statements. If this is true, why the drastic measures???

Raise your glass to Dad and Mom. 50 years ago today, they were married (yes on Christmas Day).
Mom and dad showed us and all you that know them how to love unconditionally. We thank them for loving each other and all of us unconditionally.
Cheers to Mom and Dad.
Miss you Dad.
Headed to the mountains for Thanksgiving, and Major League comes on in hotel. First time for the kids, glued to it, and they had to finish it

What a special group. Majority of these guys had no 4-year offers out of high school. Set their goal, worked their tails off, and accomplished it. Along the way, they continued to raise the bar for our program. Thank you for choosing The River - Job well done

Ole Colby White did it...the improvements and maturities this young man has made in the last few years is phenomenal. Without a doubt, it all started with his dream. Congrats and keep working big man - well-deserved
