BASEBALL It was another busy summer for the FWCD baseball program. Beginning the last week in May, the boys held team and individual practices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and played a scrimmage game on Wednesdays. This lasted through the end of June. FWCD also held its FWCD Baseball Camp (June 1-5) for the third straight year and had a blast. There were more than 60 campers (ages 6-12) that attended and learned the basic fundamentals of the game. The camp was taught by current FWCD coaches and players. Everyone had a great time. Baseball had two collegiate commitments take place over the summer. Jake McCoy ’15 signed to continue his career at the University of Dallas. James Ferguson ’16 verbally committed to play at North Carolina State University and will sign his letter of intent in November.
