A big part of a great season is having parents like these one on this team,” said Coach Pruitt. “They help whenever needed, cheer on kids, and were kind and respectful to the umpires, coaches and other teams. It teaches the kids great sportsmanship when they see their parents’ examples and these awesome kiddos did fantastic and we’re super proud of them.”
