Senior Drew Borner celebrates his first inning run. The Cats erupted for an eight run first on their way to the state title. “I’ve never felt anything like it,” Borner said. “ It’s surreal and I still haven’t fully grasped it yet. This team battled adversity from the end of last year all the way to this final game. I love my boys.”

The Wildcats celebrate a big win earlier in the season against Millard North. This year the Cats finished with a regular season record of 24-5, and they will be a number one seed in their District tournament bracket, however there is always room for improvement. “I think we need to score more runs in the middle innings,” senior Sam Novotny said. “We usually put up runs in the first and last couple innings but I think it would really help if we could put a few more runs on the scoreboard for the middle innings and put more pressure on the other team.”

Senior Dylan Driessen delivers a pitch in the game against Millard South. Driessen worked through three innings on the mound, giving up eight earned runs, and striking out seven. Although the Wildcats could not come out with a win they will hope to put this loss behind them as they look to bounce back in the Metro Tournament. “Going into Metros we have to just forget about this game,” Driessen said. “We just need to focus on doing what we can to win games.”

Senior Dylan Driessen delivers a pitch to a Skutt hitter in the game against the SkyHawks. Driessen totaled seven strikeouts over five innings of work while allowing only two runs, both of which were scored off wild pitches. “Each run they earned was caused by a wild pitch,” Driessen said. “So what I can take away from this game is to get into the zone sooner and settle in right away.”
