Sam's Baseball History
Sam's thoughts on the Season: "This is our year. We have worked extremely hard to get to this point and we will not stop short of our goal."
Coach Gjormand on Sam: "Sam enters his first year on the varsity after two very good years on the junior varsity. Sam was the anchor of our J.V. staff last year as they went 13-1 and won the district championship. He was one of the clear-cut captains of the team and possesses incredible leadership qualities both on the field and in the classroom. Sam is also a very talented right-handed pitcher who will compete for a starting spot in our rotation. He will be a major contributor to this year’s success."
