In 2009, the Tigers fi nished one game out of the playoffs just behind Lincoln-Juarez. This season, the Tigers have several returning letterman who will direct the team.
“We will need our seniors to lead,” said Coach Galaviz. “We will go as far as our seniors will take us. The rest of the team will have to follow,” added Coach Galaviz in his 3rd season at Valley View.
Three seniors, four juniors, and a sophomore will be called upon this season. Robert Castillo (sr.), UTL, all-district; Ivan Garcia (sr.), OF, all-district 2 years; Edgar Salinas (sr.), INF, all-district 2 years; Fernando Lopez (jr.), INF; Gustavo Martinez (jr.), INF, all district; Rolando Rodriguez (jr.), INF, all-district; Teodoro Trejo (jr.), INF; and Gilbert Feria (soph.), OF.
“Hard work, team chemistry, playing as a team, expecting to win, and deserving to win is what we will preach this season,” said Coach Galaviz.
The Tigers have not been to the playoffs since 2006, but this season they look to get back on track. “The team must believe in themselves and in each other if we are going to be successful,” said Coach Galaviz. “We must compete for 7 innings and 21 outs of every game.”
Roma, Mercedes, and Missions Veterans could be some of the strongest competition in district 32-4A. The Tigers will look for guidance from their three seniors in 2010.
