Rough Start for Falcon's Baseball

The Falcons game against Hidden Valley High School was cancelled after the bus that was driving the team en route lost control and crashed through a fence and into a tree shortly after leaving Elmira High School.  The driver and one student were transported to a local hospital.  According to head baseball coach Ryan Wolgamott, there were enough minor injuries that the game at Pleasant Hill could not be played because of an insufficient number of players.  Several players will be out for tomorrow's game at North Valley.  Athletic Director Brian Brands suggested that they might make up the game while they were down south at Grant's Pass.  

This was as the Falcon's were seeking to rebound from a moribund season last year.

"Our outlook is good when healthy.," said Wolgamott in an email.  "I expect us to be much improved over last year's 3-19 team that went winless in league.  I believe we
have the potential to finish around .500 in league and challenge for a
playoff spot."


Elmira returns 9 players from last year's team including Gavin Parker and C.J. Smith, both who were second team all conference in the 4A Sky-Em.
