LAFAYETTE — For Louisiana-Lafayette baseball coach Tony Robichaux, the measure of a man is how he navigates the peaks and valleys of the journey.
That’s why Robichaux isn’t so concerned that most of sophomore outfielder Kennon Fontenot’s 39 career games have been spent in those valleys. It’s not the path that interests him. Instead, he focuses on the fact that Fontenot has continued to put one foot in front of the other to continue on his journey.
“Everybody has to walk a path to get to that point,” Robichaux said. “Sometimes it’s excruciating.”
It certainly has been painful for Fontenot up to this point, but there are signs better days are ahead.
