Trojans Sweep HS Title Round
Saturday, May 30th , 2054
Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.
It was the latter case in 2054, as the Jeffersonville HS Trojans topped the Newport News HS Paints 10-5 tonight at Ballpark of Sterling HS to win the HS Title Round. It was the 1st title in franchise history.
"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Jeffersonville HS third baseman John Jordan, who was named series MVP.
The Trojans took the series 3-0. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a second-place finish in the High School CL Southern Division and a 25-15 record.
Jeffersonville HS manager Matt Vargas grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Jordan's words.
"John said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said.
Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
