Western Christian Alumni Baseball Game
Posted March 10th, 2010 in Alumni, Athletic Boosters, Athletics, HS Special Events, High School Comments Off
Dear Alumni,
It is baseball season again and the tradition that you have established is still running strong. In 2009 the Fighting Lancers went 17-9 and 10-2 in league winning our third Championship in four years. Senior Robert Wiley was selected League Most Valuable Player joining the ranks of Mark Reynoso (Class of 2008) and Dustin Richmond (Class of 2006). Junior CJ Beatty was selected as the league’s Pitcher of the Year, Western Christian’s first.
Since the return of Head Coach Mark Gabbard in 2006 the Lancers have compiled an overall record of 55-45 and a league record of 33-15. In the process the team has produced three league titles, three league MVPs, and six All-CIF players while being ranked in the top 10 twice.
Alumni Virgil Chavirra (Class of 2006) is a starting second baseman and a leading hitter for the #17 ranked Azusa Pacific University Cougars. Alumni Mark Reynoso (Class of 2008) is currently a player for NCAA Division I Coppin State. The tradition at Western Christian has been established an carried on by you.
For this reason we are putting together the Fourth Annual Western Christian High School Alumni baseball game on April 17, 2010 at 9:00A. The game will be played at Memorial Park South Field next to San Antonio Hospital in the city of Upland. It is our goal to have as many of our alumni come and participate and pass on history to our current student-athletes. Their will be t-shirts, pre-game batting practice, a seven inning game, and a lunch served back at our new campus. See the attached flyer for additional information.
The Lancer Baseball Program thanks you for your commitment to Western Christian and your presence at this event will be greatly valued. If you wish to participate in this event it will be $10. We look forward to continuing this new tradition as it begins with you and hopefully never ends. We cannot wait to hear from you.
God Bless, Mark Gabbard, Head Baseball Coach
