A Chance for Revenge
The Shady Spring Tigers are set to square off against the St. Albans Red Dragons in the Class AAA baseball semifinals, a rematch that carries more than just bragging rights.
Scheduled for Friday at Jack Cook Field, the game will kick off at 12:30 p.m., giving both squads a prime afternoon slot to showcase their skills.
Earlier in the season the Red Dragons edged the Tigers, leaving Shady Spring with a burning desire to turn the tables when it matters most.
Coach Epling’s Vision
Head coach Kendrick Epling has repeatedly stressed that the team’s mentality revolves around earning every success on the field, a philosophy that has guided their preparation for the semifinal.
Epling’s focus on winning the entire championship reflects a broader ambition that extends beyond a single game, positioning the Tigers as serious contenders for the state title.
The victor of this semifinal will earn a berth in the championship game slated for Saturday, a prize that has eluded the program for years and now feels within reach.
