Luckily, this off-season we had some major improvements with Brady deballs going in on buying stock in Rogane and now has a full head of hair. Trey Buck went on a keto diet and is looking chiseled. Jack Sparo’s wrist strength will be on point from hammering fences in all off season. Nick Bonte has been busy showing Brady Bonte what dad power is all about. Brothers Brockhouse and Kindt are looking to roam the outfield together. Scott Splett is still shucking corn on the side. Travis Williamson has been doing long distance runs in the morning with Bohl to get in shape. Python arms Paulsen has decided to come back out again and is still living by the 3 Rules of Life- 1. Crushing beers 2. Crushing balls 3. Curls every day. Robin Chute is over 40, played short for us last year at state and is going to try and not pull a hammy and play with us again this year. Labrie might have let himself go, but says he has a little left in the tank. Steckler is coming off coaching a state championship for Dells, we’re just hoping his head didn’t get too big from that. Joey Fitz retired and then made his comeback a month later. Tayson Swatek is still trying to grow facial hair. And some other rookies came out from Garretson, but I don’t know their names due to lack of practice and camaraderie.
All and all the Jays look to make the town proud. Our schedule is listed below so follow us on Facebook because you never know with our league when a game will be canceled! #GoJays!! fly baby fly
