Congratulations to the players!

Chaz Leftridge is a very fine player with a big arm. My son's team was in the same conference as Chaz. Congrats to all these boys and their families.

Cleveland Dad,

I heard some really nice things about Chaz and from what I saw yesterday, should be a great core addition to the Hillsborough program. My son is excited and I am really pleased with the coaching staff. Coach Calhoun is a great coach with a good staff! They will have some pitching next season! Their recruiting coach, Coach Locks really worked hard this past off season...

waveball,

All the best to Robert. I hope he has a big year for that magical senior year in high school and it is especially nice to know that you are going on to the next level. I'll be sure to follow his progress from now on. Thanks for the update

CD,

Thanks! I still have 2 senior's in my program to get signed, then I can breathe a little...

ADD ONE MORE...

Senior 1B Mike Lane, University of Florida's PK Yonge School will be at Hillsborough CC next year.

Congratulations to Mike for his hard work and dedication over the past two seasons.
