With big expectations in the outfield for the Greyhounds this baseball season, Coach O’Hara said, “The team was practicing in school preparing not only for their first game, but also for the season.” When asked who he was looking forward to playing the most, he replied Kennedy. They won conference last year and that’s their goal. The coaches expect a lot from their players, but the players have big expectations from their coaches as well. Cesar Acevedo from Div.512 said, “I expect our coaches to do their job and coach the team. Not only to coach us, but give us their full support, show us how to do things, and know what to do in certain situations during a game.” The key players on the team are Demetrius Ruiz,Div.506, and Fabian Chavarria. Unfortunately, the first game against Austin Polly was canceled on March 16th. Coach O’Hara stated, “The game was canceled due to the field and the team not being ready.” This was a disappointment for the Hubbard Greyhounds since they were really looking forward to their first game. The team remains focused and will continue to practice. Recently, the baseball team has played against Little Village and came off with a victory of 12-0. They then lost two games. First loss was against Ag and the second was versus Curie. Right now, the team is trying to come off this losing streak and want to finish their conference strong before moving into city and state play-offs. Only seven games remain in the regular season. The baseball team so far is 16-6. Coach O’Hara stated “The team could possibly win city due to the bracket they are placed in. Teams are placed according to whether they recruit students or not.” As of right now the team is only focused in finishing their regular season, so later they can think about city and state play-offs. All the players are giving it their all to bring home a conference championship.
