With baseball season right around the corner, the Wyoming Area Warriors took their preseason training one step further as they departed Friday morning, March 16, for their annual trip to West Virginia.
The Warriors will be playing four games in West Virginia over the weekend. Two games for the JVs and two for Varsity against the Martinsburg Bulldogs and the Jefferson Cougars.
“We’re hoping to have our younger guys come together and build chemistry,” said Wyoming Area head coach Chick Andrewscavage.
Although it would be nice to take home some victories against these tough opponents, the team is not going down there looking to win.
“We’re not emphasizing wins,” said Andrewscavage. “We’re looking to play well and achieve the things we have been practicing.”
Wyoming Area has a very young, yet very talented, group of players this season. They only have two full-time starters returning to the team this year so they will be using this time as a chance to get used to playing together.
“We learn as we play this year. I love the attitude and energy that these kids are bringing,” said Andrewscavage.
Whether the Warriors win or lose in West Virginia, one thing can be counted on is that they players will be gaining great experience before the season starts and be given the chance to come together as a team.
“The younger kids will find out what it means be a team,” said Andrewscavage. “The [players] will find out a lot about themselves this weekend about what kind of season they’ll have or who steps up to lead the team.”
