Sutton T-ball teams boast of 45 players this summer

For the first time since a season-opening 8-0 loss at Sutton, May 22, the South Central Post 256 Junior Legion baseball team got back into action Tuesday, June 11, hosting the Hebron Post 180 Juniors in a doubleheader challenge.

“SLANT! Sit up, lean forward, act interested, nod your head, track the speaker.” This is how Coach Bill Busch started his motivational speech to the Sandy Creek football team last week.

The Sutton Junior Legion baseball team opened week two of the 2024 summer league season with a strong effort, outscoring Friend 16-1 in a four-inning affair to improve to 3-0 with the victory.

Following a 16-1 route over Friend to start last week’s action for the Sutton Junior Legion baseball team, Sutton hit the road, Wednesday, May 29 for doubleheader action at Duncan Field in Hastings, where Sutton earned a pair of wins over the Hastings Runza Juniors, taking the first game 11-7, and the nightcap 17-6, starting the year with a 4-0 record.

When organizers of the newly formed Sutton Boosters Club set out to form the organization prior to the start of the 2023-24 school year, the ultimate goal, according to club president, Jeremy Robinson, “this is all an effort to work with the school district to enhance the culture for our students across the board.”

Baby steps could very well be the way Sutton golf coach Randy Ahrens looks at the past three seasons for the Sutton Mustang’s program, as in each of the past two seasons Ahrens has taken one of his players to the Class C state golf championships, Jadyn Friesen as a freshman in 2022, and Harrison Hernson, last season, as a sophomore.
