What he has managed to do here is truly remarkable.
The team Wyrick won with last year had been playing together for years. It is because of this that Wise Little League is in such the shape that it is in. No one wanted to play Little League in Wise because they put all of the good players on the same team and ruined it for the rest. Now there is a struggle trying to get kids to come out and play baseball again in Wise LL. Of course they have 8 T-Balls teams in Wise now (each with about 12 kids per team), so lets hope that is a sign of good things to come.
