This baseball team couldn't have written the story any better, what a dream gift they are giving Coach Short, and how fun for the community to rally behind WHS baseball.
Coach Short is a good person, and now he sees all the support from years of coaching and teaching, everyone is pulling for him. Best of luck to the team on Saturday....GO DEMONS
