What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

I asked Preston this question and he replied, “I love pitching but I love the game more. The ability to go have fun and do what I love. Even if you lose, it's not the end of the world. One error, just move on and worry about the next play. You can always comeback from a setback.”


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

“My dad because he is a great father and coach. My dad doesn’t just care about winning. He develops every player he coaches and teaches them life lessons too. He is the best and I hope I can be just like him one day.” When Preston graduated kindergarten, they were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. Preston’s answer was simple- he wanted to be his dad when he grew up.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Every game Preston exudes leadership, poise, confidence, and outstanding sportsmanship. Win or lose, strike out or home run, he is a master of his emotions and the mental game, maintaining composure even in the most intense situations. Preston pitched a complete 6 inning shutout game in the TN State Cal Ripken Championship game. He threw 55 pitches allowing only 2 hits with 5 strikeouts helping his 12U all star team punch their ticket to the Southeastern Regional Tournament.
