Weather takes its toll on JV
By Chad Wilson Editor

Three double headers have been canceled this season keeping the Junior Varsity Bears baseball team from improving on their 1-2 overall record.

"They are a talented bunch." Brownsboro coach Joe Fleming said. "It is a shame the weather had kept them off the field."

Fleming scheduled the JV Bears to play in 20 games this season. With Monday's rainout the Bears have missed at least six of those games.

Brownsboro is scheduled to travel to Grand Saline this Saturday. First pitch is at 12pm. As of press time Tuesday there was a slight chance of rain for Saturday.

Opening the 2008 baseball season the Bears lost 5-8 to Lindale in Brownsboro.

Clint Johnson drove in two runs for the Bears on a triple. Other Bears recording hits in the loss was DeAndre Taylor, Tim McGovern, Collin Mason, Justin Vause, Matthew Toby, Ryan Owens and Blake Shelton.

Brownsboro's first win of the season came againt Grace Community in the first game of a double header.

The Bears defeated Grace 13-7 as four Bears had two hits in the game. Vause drove in three runs on two hits. Owens, Toby and Scott Spearman also had two hits.

In the last game the Bears have played since Mother Nature brought in the rain Brownsboro totaled 12 hits. Spearman and Vause had three hits in the 13-10 loss to Grace.

Matthew Tobey was perfect at the plate with two hits. Taylor drove in two runs for the Bears.
