SANFORD The mood around the Kerr-Vance Academy dugout on Friday evening was dominated by frustration and confusion after Grace Christian scored six unanswered runs to take a 1-0 lead
HENDERSON An afternoon that saw three Kerr-Vance Academy baseball players hit home runs was more than enough for the program to defeat New Life Camp and improve to 7-7 on the year Wednesday.
Head coach Mike Rigsbee admitted that the 2021 season for KVA has been challenging in multiple ways but is confident that the team is starting to gain the necessary momentum to make a run at a fourth straight NCISAA 1A Championship.
âTheyâve started to swing the bat these last few games,â Rigsbee said. âThe pitching has been there even though we had some guys tonight that havenât pitched much. Weâve played some good teams this year and tonight was a really good one.â
HENDERSON â After opening their season with a 12-7 loss to Grace Christian last Thursday, the Kerr-Vance Academy baseball team bounced back by dominating Lee Christian 12-2 during their home opener on Tuesday, which also served as their senior night.
Head coach Mike Rigsbee said that his team still needs to make improvements in several areas despite obtaining a double-digit victory, but he was proud of the way his players responded following their tough loss to Grace Christian.
âOverall I thought things went pretty well with this being our second time on the field,â Rigsbee said. âThe seniors did well and I was glad to get this in for them, but we still have to execute better on a lot of stuff.â
