The summer baseball squad from Scottsboro has been gearing up over the last few weeks for the upcoming season, which kicks off on Tuesday at the new facility at Scottsboro High School against Hazel Green.
The objective behind forming Scottsboro’s summer team was to maintain the continuity of the existing high school team throughout the summer period.
Having the players together during the summer fosters teamwork and emphasizes player interactions as they gear up for the next spring season.
“The summer squad acts as an extension of the high school team,” Gann remarked. “This allows us to play together and keep refining our skills to improve for next year’s team. It also provides us a chance to evaluate what we can expect for the upcoming season.”
Scottsboro will face off against several other local high school teams. Some of these squads will be the same rivals the Wildcats encounter during the regular season, while others are from nearby areas.
“This year, our primary focus will be on teamwork,” Gann stated.
In their first matchup, Scottsboro will welcome Hazel Green for a doubleheader. The initial game is set to start at 6 p.m., with the second match to follow immediately after.
Scottsboro will also host Fort Payne next Thursday at 6 p.m. The season will progress throughout June, with tournament details to be announced later.
Other opponents on Scottsboro’s schedule comprise Arab, Sparkman, North Jackson, Plainview, and Madison County.
Scottsboro’s program has seen considerable success over the last two seasons, gaining essential experience by competing against strong teams.
The roster consists of returning athletes from Scottsboro’s varsity squad.
