2008 AIA 2A Baseball State Tournament: Team: Wayne Kuwanhyoima, Dominque Watson, Maurice Kuwanhyoima, Garrett Manygoats, Garth Manygoats, Larry Tsosie, Troy Billy, Colin Tom, Jesse Billy, Taylor Wilson
Overall, I believe the Greyhills Baseball Program enjoyed a successful season. After evaluating the talent early in the season, my coaches and I set our team goal-to make the 2A State Tournament. It may have not sounded like a lofty goal considering the program has been in the state tournament the past 3 years, but we were dealing with almost an entirely new and inexperienced squad. We went through a very tough early season non conference schedule without registering a win, but our aim was to focus on the league games where we finished a very respectable 9-3. Although frustrating at times, those non conference games really prepared us for our league opponents. The coaches and I were very impressed with the teams “never quit” attitude. We told our guys this season was like a mini life lesson. “When you get knocked down, or things don’t go as planned, you keep pushing forward-never giving up.” On May 2nd we accomplished our season goal as a North #3 seed in the State Tournament. We lost to a very good Bourgade Catholic team, but our guys played hard throughout the game keeping with the season long attitude, “never quit.”
