Well, we traveled down to Anaheim, CA with the Springville Red Devil Baseball teams. This is the JV team. (Jace Hartman, Payton, Hummer and Karson were the 4 Freshman) They played 3 games in St. George and 1 in Anaheim. They played well! They won 2 and lost 2, but all games were close.
The "big, bad Dad" was the coach of the JV team along with Bruno Frampton. We traveled with Jane, Grandma, Gracie and Bryn Gomez.
