Last night my best friend went up to heaven. My dad has taught me so much through my life with him. He’s my hero, and watching him fight cancer solidified his legacy. He impacted so many people throughout his life and I hope to continue to be half the man he was. Love you dad.

Congratulations to Caden Considine on becoming the state record holder for runs scored in a career at 222! This record is over 40 years old! #ByronTigers #TigerPride

That’s not trivia if you tell us the answer right away 🙄

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 On Saturday the Hall of Pretty Good will induct its second honorary member and first non athlete. Author Dan Gutman will enter under the literary contributions wing. Best known to baseball fans for his Baseball Card Adventures series including Babe and Me and Jackie and Me, Gutman was elected by the Instagram channel in a 617 to 47 vote, 93 percent.

Byron is on a 7-game winning streak. Considine is locked-in. He homered earlier in the week, and in this game he went 4-for-4 with three extra base hits. mystateline.com/sports/high-sc…

HR #2 was crushed🔥

“Big part of this team, emotionally.” UCF Baseball HC Rich Wallace gave us an update on former Friday starting pitcher Braden Smith, stating he’ll have surgery at the end of this week. Against West Virginia, Smith suffered from a concussion, laceration, and facial fracture. @SonsofUCF

"Hitters who hit more, hit more." I strongly disagree. Some of the hardest workers I've coached under-perform (compared to the work they put in) I was one of them. It's the mental side. - Anxious. - Nervous. - You care so much it works against you. I remember shaking in the box because I wanted to be so good. It wasn't fear of the competition. I just cared too much I didn't need more reps. I needed to train winning. I needed to focus on scoring runs. I needed to stop thinking about ME and start thinking about scoring runs for MY TEAM. When you shift your focus from yourself to YOUR TEAM, your energy transfers. That's when the swing you worked your butt off, shows up.

Andrew Talbert is special. These highlights will back that up. @andrewtalbert27 @CadenConsidine1 @byronhsad mystateline.com/sports/high-sc…

Update from Rich Wallace on pitcher Braden Smith:

For Braden 🫡 Make that 9-1 in Big 12 Play!
