The Final Game of the season




Today was Peytons final baseball game of the fall season.. We were so blessed to get Peyton on this team.. They were the Georgia Tech YellowJackets and they were a great group of kids and the Coaches were just what we were looking for.. Coming from St Louis and being with the same team for 5 years Spring and Fall season, we really grew to love each one of those boys and their families, we truly beacame the "Baseball Family" and as some of you know it was a very emotional goodbye for Chuck as the head coach and Peyton as we had to say Goodbye to all of them when we moved, we have wonderful memories with the Bulldogs and boy do we have some stories to tell that we will never forget:) But when we moved here this Summer they did not have a league for Peyton's age so we signed him up for Fall Ball and all summer he watched Phillip play with a team and we can honestly say we really felt for Peyton.. Phillip's coach was so sweet he would let Peyt practice with them and sometimes sub when they needed a player and that was a really BIG deal for him but it was still hard because he knew that this was Phillip's team and they were Phillip's friends so fall season started and Peyton loved all the boys who were on his new team, he thinks the world of Coach Dennis and Coach Mike and of course Chuck had to help coach too... I think Chuck enjoys it as much as Peyt does:) The YellowJackets were a incredible team they would really have you sitting on the edge of your sit and your heartstopping at particular games, we always rallied we would be down 10 to 1 several times and come back and win by 1 or 2 points it was great.. Today we played the #1 team in the league and we were winning 5 to 0 up until the 4th inning and then the Huskies came back, the score was 5 to 4 and that is how it ended.. We were all yelling and high-fivin and the kids were all jumping on each other and hugging.. It was a great day and at the end in the huddle the Coaches handed out dogtag neclaces to each player and we were all told we had come in 2nd place in the league.. We hope that Peyton will be able to stay with these Coaches and kids, he really felt like he was a true Texan.. You would have thought he had known these kids for years, it was awesome!! Stay tuned for more sports news with Peyton Ray, next month is Basketball:) The sports never stop in The Ray household but we all love it!!!!
