Baseball players learn lessons, despite canceled season
Jan Salmon | Southeast Arrow DeKALB — Despite the negativity surrounding the baseball team’s season being canceled, the players learned a lesson that will help them down the road.
When the NCAA officially announced spring athletes would receive an extra year of eligibility, the team wasn’t shocked, but still felt relieved.
“It’s a huge weight off my shoulders because if you think about it, for all of us, we’ve been playing baseball since we were little kids,” senior catcher Jake Dunham said. “Just the pit in your stomach when you realize it’s over, especially when you didn’t plan on it being over, is just unbelievable.”
