The baseball and softball teams gathered together on Saturday at Saluda Shoals Park to celebrate the 2013 season.  Softball celebrated the creation of their team and a year of practice and look forward to 2014 when they will take the field in competition for the first time.

The JV baseball celebrated its 14-8-1 record and handed out their year end awards.  The most important award to be handed out is the coveted Panther Award. This award is voted on by the team and coaches and recognizes the player who best demonstrated the true spirit of competition and did their best to “do all as to God”.  The 2013 winner of this award was JC Ellis.  JC was a positive influence on the JV team as he led, encouraged and exhorted his teammates to do their best.  He never complained and always wore a smile.  The winner of the 2013 Pitching award also went to Mr. JC Ellis.  He was the unquestioned ace of the staff and pitched a Panther record 14 scoreless innings in a row during the season.  The JV team had co-winners of the Silver Slugger Award which goes to the offensive MVP.  Cal Hucks and Cole Owens share this award for the 2013 season.  Cal hit .400 for the year, drove in 29 runs and scored 22 himself.  Cole Owens hit .449, drove in 22 runs and scored 39 times.  Anderson Blevins won the Gold Gove Defensive award for the second consecutive year.  He led the team in assists and specialized in making spectacular plays whether the play called for it or not.  Congratulations to the award winners and to the entire JV squad.  It was a great year.

The Varsity team celebrated its first ever winning season, sporting a 2013 record of 12-7.  As stated earlier, the Panther Award is voted on by the players and coaches.  It is with pride that the coaches noted that nine out of the fourteen players received votes this year for the award.  I think this is a testament to the type of young men that we have on this team.  Someone had to win, however, and that well deserved winner is Mr. Trevor Dacus.  Trevor was a leader on this team as he consistently displayed a can do attitude and did everything his coaches asked of him without complaint.  He pitched and split time at first base for the Panthers. The 2013 pitching award went to Mr. Jake Brunson.  Jake pitched the second most innings for the varsity team and turned in some dominating performances during 2013.  Opponents batted just .227 against Jake this year.  Just like the JV team, the Panther Varsity squad had co-winners of the 2013 Silver Slugger award that goes to the offensive MVP.  Mr. Alex Blevins and Mr. Danny Morales share this award for 2013.  Alex hit .458 for the year with eighteen RBI’s.  He scored twenty five runs and stole twelve bases; including the Panther’s first ever steal of home.  Alex also hit .476 with runners in scoring position.  Danny Morales set a new Varsity batting average mark hitting .472 for the year.  He knocked in twenty RBI’s and scored twenty runs himself.  He stole eleven bases and hit .462 with runners in scoring position.  The defensive Gold Glove award went to Mr. Sean West.  Sean was one of two catchers for the Panther squad and also played some first base.  Sean was a bedrock for the team as he handled the Panther pitchers with great aplomb.  Whether he was throwing out base runners or calming down pitchers (or coaches for that matter), Sean controlled the games from behind home plate.  Congratulations to the award winners and to the entire Varsity squad for a great year.

I would be remiss if I did not mention Mr. Ken Hanna.  Ken’s son , Josh, is graduating this year so Ken will no longer be coaching with us.  He has been on the coaching staff for all four years; one year on Junior Varsity and three with the Varsity team.  He helped our young men learn the great game of baseball and modeled character in all he did and said.  I will miss him greatly on the baseball field and hope we can remain friends for a long time.  All of Panther baseball says THANKS AND YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!!

I also want to thank all the parent volunteers who helped our first JV tournament and our 2013 season go so well. This goes especially for the coaches wives but especially my wife, Davida, without whose support this program would not exist.  A few others that warrant special mention are Eric Barfield and Robert Dickinson the team chaplains and Kim West who ran the canteen.  Without all of you, we could not even begin to accomplish what our program does.  Thanks and see you next year.

Panthers (JV) 14                           Richard Winn 8

The Junior Panther squad closed out its season with a 14-8 victory at Bray Park on Wednesday night.  The Panthers took the lead in the very first inning by scoring five runs and never looked back.  The Eagles scored one run in the first, three in the 4th, two runs in the 6th and two runs in the 7th but they never seriously threatened the Panther lead.  As stated earlier the Panthers plated five runs in the first inning.  Cole Owens led off with a single.  He took second and third on a ground out to third by Anderson Blevins.  Cal Hucks then blasted a triple to deep center field scoring Cole.  JC Ellis then reached on a dropped third strike.  Patrick Brunson then hit a single knocking in Cal and JC.  Danny Waller moved Pat to scoring position with another single and then Pat scored on a RBI groundout by Daniel Barfield.  Danny Waller scored on a RBI single by John Edens to close the scoring in the first.  The Panthers added one run in the 2nd when Anderson Blevins doubled to right center field and was driven home on a double by Cal Hucks.   The Panthers kept the pressure on the Eagles by scoring another six runs in the 3rd inning.  Carson Floyd led off by getting plunked by the pitch.  After one out, Cole Plyler and Cole Owens received free passes on base.  Carson Floyd scored when the Eagle pitcher balked and Cole Plyler scored on a wild pitch.  Anderson Blevins then singled to put runners at first and third.  Cal Hucks reached on an error by the Eagle shortstop which plated Cole Owens.  JC Ellis singled to load the bases.  Pat Brunson then doubled down the left field line scoring Anderson and Cal.  Daniel Williams then singled to scored JC Ellis and serious damage had been done to any comeback hopes the Eagles had.  The Panthers went quietly in the 4th and 5th innings but added two more runs in the bottom of the 6th.  Parker Pocock and Danny Waller both walked.  After two strikeouts, Anderson Blevins tripled to deep left center driving in the final two runs of the game.  Anderson Blevins and Cal Hucks led the Panther with three hits a piece; both hitting a single, a double and a triple.  Cal Hucks knocked in three runs while Anderson knocked in two.  Pat Brunson had four RBI’s for the game and two hits; a single and a double.  Four different pitchers toed the rubber for the Panther in their final game.  JC Ellis started the game and allowed no runs over two innings.  Daniel Barfield then took to the mound for his first ever pitching appearance for the Panthers.  He went 1 1/3 innings allowing three earned runs on two hits and three walks.  He struck out one.  Daniel Williams pitched 1 2/3 innings allowing no runs or hits and struck out one.  Patrick Brunson finished the game on the mound going the final two innings.  He allowed three earned runs on two hits and three walks, striking out three.  The Panther JV squad finishes their 2013 campaign with a 14-8-1 record.  This is the fourth consecutive year the Panthers JV squad has finished with a winning record.  Great job boys!

Panthers  4                      Richard Winn 1

In the nightcap and finale for the varsity squad, the Panthers won a well played game 4-1 against the Richard Winn Eagles.  The victory was bittersweet.  Sweet because the Panthers added another win to their victory tally for the year but bitter because Josh Hanna, Danny Morales and David Mast all played their last game for the Panthers as these seniors move on to the next stage of their life.  I would be remiss if I did not mention that this was also the last game Ken Hanna would be coaching for the Panthers as his son (Josh) graduates this year.  Ken has been with our program since it was founded four years ago.  We appreciate all of their contributions to the Panthers and wish them well in all of their future endeavors.  They will be missed but not forgotten.  The Eagles soared across the plate first in this game by scoring a run in the 3rd inning taking advantage of two hits and an error.  The Panthers had numerous chances to score throughout the game including the 2nd inning when they got runners on second and third with no outs but James Reed lined into a triple play.  The stunned Panthers did not fold but simply went back to work.  They finally broke through in the 4th inning.  Alex Blevins reached on an error by the Eagle third baseman but was thrown out at second on an attempted steal.  Danny Morales then walked and Sean West was hit by a pitch putting runners at first and second.  Jake Brunson then singled to load the bases.  James Reed followed with a single driving in the first run of the inning and reloading the bases.  The Eagle pitcher balked allowing Sean West to score.  After the second out of the inning, Matthew Lord hit a flare into right center field.  The charging Eagle right fielder got their in time to catch the ball but saw it harmlessly bounce off for a two run error.  The Panthers threatened again later in the game but were not able to score.  Caleb Wilson the starting pitcher for the Panthers and he, along with some stellar defensive plays behind him, made those four runs stand up as he dominated Richard Winn only allowing the one run.  He was in complete control of the game only allowing three hits as he effectively moved in and out of the strike zone and was able to consistently throw his curve ball for a strike.  He walked three and struck out three.  The Panther offense was led by Alex Blevins who had a single and a double.  Jake Brunson and Matthew Lord both contributed two singles and Sean West blasted a double to deep left center field.  The Panthers posted their first ever winning season in 2013 finishing with a 12-7 record.  Congratulations!!!

Panthers (JV) 8                     Robert E Lee Academy 6

The Junior baseball squad continued to finish its 2013 season strongly as they bested the Cavaliers from  Robert E Lee Academy by a score of 8-6.  Again just like in the first game, the Panthers JV squad sat its older players and played this as a middle school game in the spirit of fair competition.  Even though the Cavaliers jumped out to an early lead, the Panthers answered immediately and were never seriously threatened during the game.  The Cavaliers plated two runs in the top of the first, but the Panthers answered with three in the bottom of the frame.  Cole Owens got the Panthers going with a drive over the center fielders head that rolled to the fence allowing Cole to circle the bases for an inside the park home run.  After one out, Anderson Blevins walked and went to third on a single by Cal Hucks.  Both Anderson and Cal eventually scored with Danny Waller’s groundout scoring Cal from third.  The teams traded runs in the 2nd and 3rd innings.  The Panthers scored theirs on a balk by the Cavalier pitcher and on a wild pitch.  Robert E Lee plated a run in the top of the 4th to tie the game up.  The Panthers were held scoreless in the bottom of the inning.  After returning the favor to the Cavaliers by holding them scoreless in the 5th, the Panthers scored two runs in the bottom of the inning.  Anderson doubled to start the inning and that was followed by a double by Cal scoring Anderson.  Cal went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a fielders choice by Danny Waller.  The teams trade runs in the 6th inning before the game was ended so the varsity game could begin on time.  The Panthers scored their run after Cole Plyler tripled and was driven in on a single by Hughes Butler (his second RBI in as many games).  Cal Hucks had three hits for the Panthers including his double.  Cole Owens had two hits, including his inside the park homerun.  Anderson Blevins also contributed two hits with a single and a double and Hughes Butler contributed two singles as well.  Carson Floyd was the starting pitcher for the Panthers.  he went 1 1/3 innings allowing three earned runs.  He gave up three hits and walked four.  John Edens replaced him on the mound.  John pitched 2 1/3 innings allowing two earned runs and two hits.  He walked five and struck out two.  Cole Owens finished the game on the mound.  He went 2 1/3 innings allowing one run and two hits.  He walked three and struck out one.  The Panther JV squad is now 13-8-1 on the year and finish their season Wednesday night against Richard Winn Academy.

Panthers 16                     Robert E Lee Academy  12

The Panther varsity squad won their second game in a row as the defeated the Cavaliers from Robert E Lee Academy 16-12.  The Panthers riding the momentum of their win against Augusta Christian on Saturday scored multiple runs in every inning as they pounded out sixteen hits.  The Cavaliers struck first as they plated two runs in the top of the 1st inning taking advantage of four walks and a single.  The Panthers clawed back in the bottom of the first plating two runs of their own.  Josh Hanna got them going with a single but was caught stealing second.  Alex Blevins hit a soft single to left center to get on base and advanced to third on a ground rule double by Danny Morales.  Sean West then singled driving in both Alex and Danny.  Jake Brunson, the starting pitcher for the Panthers, settled down in the second inning allowing only one base runner.  In the bottom of the 2nd, Matthew Lord led off the inning and was hit by a pitch.  Jacob Cain sacrificed him to second.  Caleb Wilson reached on an error by the Cavalier third baseman who was in for a rough inning.  Josh Hanna then doubled driving in Matthew.  Alex Blevins hit a smash to the third baseman who bravely got in front of the ball but was staggered when the ball bounced up and hit him in the throat.  Caleb Wilson scored on the play.  After the third baseman walked off the injury, Danny Morales hit another scorcher right at him  The third baseman, still smarting from Alex’s hit, let this one get by him and Josh Hanna scored and Alex went to third base.  With runners on first and third, the Panthers signaled for Danny to steal second base.  Danny broke on the pitch and the catcher popped up to make a throw to second.  Seeing the throw, Alex broke for home.  The Cavalier second baseman attempted to cut the catcher’s throw off and throw Alex out at home but his throw was to late.  Danny also later scored in the inning.  Jake Brunson held the Cavaliers scoreless  again in the third inning and the Panthers added to their lead in the bottom of the inning by scoring another six runs.  Jacob Cain got things going with a single and consecutive singles by Caleb Wilson and Josh Hanna loaded the bases.  Alex drew a bases loaded walk driving in the first run of the inning.  Danny Morales then doubled scoring two more. Sean West drew a walk to load the bases again.  Jake Brunson then walked driving in another run.  James Reed then singled driving in the final two runs of the inning.  At this point in the game, The Panthers led 13-2 and the coaches decided to pull Jake Brunson off of the mound so he would be available to pitch later in the week if necessary.  The coaches also made wholesale substitutions thinking the game was well in hand.  Funny but it never felt that way for the rest of the game.  The Cavaliers tried to fight their way back by scoring four runs in the 4th inning.  They did it on a Panther error, two walks and two base hits.  The Panthers answered in the bottom of the 4th by scoring three runs of their own.  Alex Blevins singled with one out and scored on another double by Danny Morales, his third double of the game.  Danny scored when Trevor Dacus reached base due to an error by the Cavalier catcher.  Clay Dickinson then reached on a fielder’s choice and scored when the Cavalier right fielder misplayed a single by Panther catcher, James Reed.  At this point, the Panther bats shut completely off and the they had to just hold on for their lives.   The Cavaliers inched closer by scoring two more runs in the 5th and three more in the 6th.  They added one more run in the 7th but eventually just ran out of innings before the game ended.  As noted before, Danny Morales led the way with three hits, all of them doubles and three RBI’s.  James Reed broke out of his slump by slapping three singles and driving in two runs.  Josh Hanna had three hits one of which was a double.  Alex Blevins had three singles and drove in two runs.  Alex and Danny Morales both scored four runs.  As noted above,  Jake Brunson was the starting pitcher for the Panthers.  Even though, he was pulled after three innings he was still given credit for the win since it was the coach’s decision to pull him and the Panthers never lost the lead.  He pitched three innings giving up two earned runs.  He allowed one hit, struck out one and walked six.  Josh Hanna relieved Jake on the mound and pitched one inning.  He gave up six runs only two of which were earned.  He allowed three hits, struck out one and walked four.    He was replaced by Brian Wilson who also pitched one inning.  He allowed two runs one of which was earned.  Alex Blevins then was brought in to try to regain control of the game.  He inherited a bases loaded, no out situation.  He allowed the inherited runners to score but the Cavaliers were forced to trade outs for the runs.  In the top of the seventh, he gave up two hits and one run but thankfully ended the game with a strikeout.  The Panther Varsity squad is now 11-7 on the year and have guaranteed themselves the first winning season ever at the Varsity level.  They try to continue to build on this record as they take on Keenan High School Tuesday night at Bray Park.

Panthers (JV)  4                                Augusta Christian  7

A heavy thunder storm cleared out of Augusta, Georgia early Saturday morning leaving a soggy field but a beautiful day for baseball.  The JV Panther squad arrived ready to play some baseball and took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning.  Cole Owens singled and scored on a throwing error that allowed Anderson Blevins to reach base safely.  So everyone arrived safely, in a good mood ready to play baseball and they even got off to a good start and then just like in life, something happens that takes your eyes off their goal.  They allowed themselves to get distracted by close calls on the base paths and on balls and strikes at the plate.  Their focus was not on the game anymore where it should have been, but was squarely on the umpires.  And just like in real life, when you take your eyes off of your goal things begin to unravel.  The Lions from Augusta Christian scored three runs in the second inning on three singles, an error, a walk and a hit batsman.  The Lions added two more in the 5^th inning on two walks and two hits.  The Panthers tried to begin clawing out of the hole they had dug when they plated one run in the top of the 6^th.  Cole and Anderson once again teamed up to get things going.  With one out, Cole singled and Anderson followed with another single sending Cole to third base.  Cole scored when JC Ellis reached on an infield single.  Anderson and JC were left stranded on base but it felt like momentum was beginning to turn our way.  However, the Lions would have none of it and scored two more runs in the bottom of the 6^th inning.  The Panthers furiously tried to rally in the 7^th.  Danny Waller reached on a walk and John Edens doubled putting Panthers on second and third.  Cole Plyler reached via an error driving in one run.  Hughes Butler then got an infield single driving in his first run of the year making the score 4-7 with runners on second and third.  Cole Owens popped up for the first out bringing Anderson to the plate.  He hit a line drive up the middle that the shortstop made a good catch on and stepped on second to double up Hughes Butler who had wandered too far away from second base.  For the game, Cole Owens and Anderson Blevins had two singles and five other Panthers contributed hits with John Eden’s hit being a double.  The Junior Panther squad is now 12-8-1 for the year with two games remaining.

Panthers  4                         Augusta Christian  1

In a well-played game on both sides, the Panthers prevailed 4-1 on a beautiful day for baseball in Augusta, Georgia.  The Panthers entered the game on a three game losing streak and really needed a win to help rebuild confidence and build momentum towards a strong finish as the 2013 baseball season draws to a close.  This game was a pitcher’s duel with Trevor Dacus pitching for the Panthers and K. Cartledge pitching for the Lions.  After a scoreless first, the Panthers plated two runs in the top of the second.  Sean West led off the inning with a double.  With one out, Trevor Dacus hit a soft line drive over the second baseman’s head for a single sending Sean to third.  Courtesy runner David Mast (running for Trevor) then stole second base.  Both Sean and David scored on an error by the Lion’s shortstop.  Trevor continued mowing the Lion batters down; getting the Lions sat down in order in each of the first three innings.  In the top of the 3^rd inning, the Panthers added one run on what many consider the hardest and most exciting play in baseball.  Alex Blevins reached via a single, eventually getting to third on Sean West’s second hit of the game with Sean taking second on the throw to third.  The starting pitcher for the Lion’s was a south paw (a lefty) and chose to pitch from the windup with Alex at third.  On the second pitch to Jacob Cain, Alex broke for home as soon as the pitcher started his motion.  The pitcher’s slow windup allowed Alex just enough to time to slide across home just before the catcher could catch the pitch and dive forward to tag Alex.  This was the first steal of home in Panthers history.  Trevor continued to cruise on the mound through the sixth inning caging the Lions in every inning.  The Panthers entered the 7^th inning with a slim 3-1 lead.  In the top of the 7^th, the Panthers added one to their lead.  Matthew Lord beat out an infield single on a bang, bang play.  Caleb Wilson advanced him to second with a sacrifice bunt.  After a second out, Alex Blevins doubled to right center field scoring Matthew from second.  In the bottom of the 7^th, this pride of Lions attempted a comeback.  Trevor managed to get two quick outs before faltering.  The third batter of the inning for the Lions reached via a single.  Trevor hit the next batter and the third Lion batter reached via the second hit of the inning loading the bases.  Trevor walked the next batter forcing in one run.  The Panthers changed pitchers at this point and brought in Alex Blevins.  After falling behind the batter three balls and one strike, Alex managed to retire the last Lion on a fly out to center field.  Alex Blevins and Sean West led the Panthers at the plate with two hits each; both getting a single and a double.  Josh Hanna also doubled for the Panthers.  As stated earlier, Trevor Dacus started the game on the mound for the Panthers and provided just the tonic the Panthers needed.  By pitching so well and going so deep into the game, he allowed the Panther coaches to rest the other pitchers.  This is very important as the Panthers as the team has three games in as many days next week. For the game, Trevor pitched a very solid game going 6 2/3 innings.  He allowed one earned run while striking out three and walking two.  He also hit three batters and allowed five hits.  The victory insured the Panthers their second consecutive non-losing season and gave them a great chance to finish with a winning record for the first time.  The Panthers are now 10-7 on the season.  They return to action Monday night in a tilt against Robert E Lee Academy as they try to avenge an early season loss.

Panthers (JV)  13                              Hammond  6

The Panther JV baseball squad avenged an earlier defeat by grounding the Skyhawks from Hammond 13-6 on Wednesday night.  After spotting the Skyhawks one run in the top of the first, the Panthers came roaring out of the gate and plated five of their own.    Cole Owens got everything going by hitting a single after which he was sacrificed to second by Anderson Blevins.  Cal Hucks then hit a long double scoring Cole.  Cal later scored on a wild pitch.  JC Ellis then singled and then back to back walks loaded the bases for Daniel Barfield.  Daniel hit a single scoring one run.  A walk to Cole Plyler loaded the bases again and then Cole Owens, batting for the second time in the inning drew a walk scoring the last run of the inning.  Neither team scored in the 2^nd inning.  In the 3^rd, after the Skyhawks went 1-2-3, the Panthers scored another five runs essentially putting the game out of reach.  Daniel Barfield led off with a walk and promptly stole second base.  Carson Floyd hit a long double to center field to drive in Daniel.  Cole Plyler walked and then Cole Owens hit a triple to left center plating two runs.  Anderson drove in Cole when he reached base safely on an error by the Skyhawk shortstop.  Anderson was later driven in by a groundout by Danny Waller.  Patrick Brunson the starting pitcher for the Panthers tired after five innings and was relieved by Anderson Blevins who struggled to find the strike zone.  After walking the bases loaded, a hit, another walk and some defensive let downs let the Skyhawks get back into the game temporarily by scoring five runs of their own.  The Panthers neutralized the effect of some of those runs by getting three runs back in the bottom of the 6^th.  Cole Owens drove in two with a single and later scored on a double by Cal Hucks.  The Skyhawks loaded the bases in the top of the 7^th but a grounder back to the pitcher allowed the pitcher (Danny Waller) allowed him to throw home for one out and the catcher (Cole Owens) then threw on to first for a second out; a 1-2-3 double play.  For the game, Cole Owens led the way with three hits, including a triple, and five RBI’s.  Cal Hucks added two doubles and drove in two runs Pat Brunson had two singles.  Carson Floyd slammed a double to deep center field.  Pat Brunson was the starting pitcher for the Panthers going five innings allowing four runs, only which one of was earned.  He struck out seven and walked six and allowed one hit.  Anderson Blevins went 2/3 of an inning allowing two unearned runs.  He walked four.  Danny Waller finished the game on the mound of the Panthers going the final 1 1/3 innings.  He allowed no runs, one hit and two walks.  The Panthers are off until Friday when they will play Keenan at Bray Park.  They are now 12-7-1 for the year.
