In the warm months of April and May the surrounding communities can always enjoy America’s pastime, baseball, at the Generals field located at Kate Collins Middle School. There junior Drew DeMoss will be pitching .He plays on the Giants’ varsity team with several friends who have been his teammates since he first got his start in T-ball.
DeMoss started his baseball career for the Giants as a freshman.
“I started out on junior varsity, and got pulled up for a scrimmage and then got asked to stay two weeks later,” DeMoss said.
Ever since then, the junior has been making a name for himself on the Generals Field.
“I am very passionate for the sport; I take part in it the three seasons that it is available,” he said.
DeMoss plays American Legend, which takes place in the summer, Fall Ball in the autumn, and then high school baseball in the spring.
“You can tell that he practices a lot. Over the time playing with him his throw has gotten faster and he has a very strong arm,” teammate Tyler Briggs said. “I have been playing with him for about nine years and over that time all he has done is progress.”
DeMoss said he keeps coming back to the diamond each season because “I want to represent, the school and the community. I want to perform well and I’m proud to wear the purple and gold jerseys every season.”
DeMoss’ dedication is proven by his hard work, his perseverance, and the support of his teammates.
