A Word from Coach Reddinger Hello again n old friends and d Alums, II want to thankk all of you thaat made the trek back to campu us last spring for the Alumni gaame. It was great to see old faces again… d did I say ‘olld’…I meant familiar faces. TThe game itself was full of excitemen nt. Between th he pitching duaals, the fierce offensive explosio ons and the dynamic d defensive plays, it wass truly ‘someth hing to see’. It waas a spectacle alrright. Make sure to ‘like us’ on Faacebook (did that sound like I knew w what I just said d) if you haven’t alrready. If you d do, you’ll be able e to see the photoss of that amazing game. U Unfortunately, d due to the fact tthat we have no laate season Saturrday games, we will not be able to have an alumni game this upcoming spring. That does not m mean however that we don’t w want to see you at one of our games. Our schedule is at the end of this newslettter. I really hope you can make a game and if so o, please let me know you’re com ming. m me, is Just under this little note from the ‘3 eaasy ways to don nate’ form. Once again, this of ccourse is my w way of asking fo or some help. M Many of you tookk me up on my p plea last year and becamee Towering Titan memberrs. Some of you continue to be memberrs.
