The Eagle Times

Baseball season is not far away and the St. John High School baseball team has been practicing very hard. Practice for the Eagles began January 3. After three weeks of hard work we have seen much improvement. We are beginning to gel with one another and become a big family on the field. Coach Whittington, Harrell, and Landry have been working us extremely hard 3-4 hours a day, getting us better and where we need to be. The work ethic is unbelievable and is progresses each day.

            The Eagles fundraising has begun with advertisement signs and the spaghetti dinner. The advertisement signs are new to the fundraising program at St. John. The signs cost $100 and will be up for this baseball season. The spaghetti dinner is a tradition in Eagle baseball fundraising. The tickets for the spaghetti dinner cost $5 per plate. Please help out the Eagles and get a spaghetti dinner.

            This year Coach Whittington has set up a website for the Eagle baseball team. The website is www.stjohneaglebaseball.com. It is a great informational site and has lots of great things to offer. On the website you can find practice and game schedules, scores, stats, player information, awards, staff, and camps. The website allows the Eagles to be known worldwide. It is great for the players to get noticed by college and pro scouts. Many players don’t get the opportunity to play college ball because they aren’t known about. With the website it gives those players that aren’t known about an opportunity be heard of. The website is also a great advertisement for the team and the school. We are looking forward to this season and thanks for all of your support.
