BASEBALL TEAM PERFECT IN DISTRICT PLAY!

The Richardson Eagles completed a sweep of the first half of district play, capping it off with a 5-0, 1 hitter against Carrollton Creekview, the area’s #5 ranked team.

Last nights performance on the mound by Chase Weaver, was nothing short of awesome, as he mowed down batter after batter, ultimately surrendering a lone single that narrowly escaped Hunter Johnston at 2nd base.

Richardson scored all 5 runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning and never looked back. After several hits and some help from CC errors, 5 runners ultimately crossed the plate and the game was well in hand. With a comfortable lead, Weaver cruised through the 6th, and when the ball was handed to Chris Belew in the 7th, the game was in the books.

The Eagles (16-5, 7-0) lead district 9-5A by 2 games and have not allowed a run in the last 34 innings! They open the second half of district play on Friday at Sunset.

LADY EAGLES GOLF

Next Monday, the 21^st in the auditorium of Richardson High School at 7 p.m. Dr. Greg Dale, Director of Mental Training for Duke University Athletics will be addressing parents of student-athletes who compete for Richardson High School, Lake Highlands, and Berkner. Dr. Dale is spending an hour with all our student-athletes this fall helping them with the mental aspects of competitive athletics and setting goals. In this parent seminar (free to all attendees), Dr. Dale talks straight with parents about how to motivate your child and how to be a supporter of the total athletic program. We anticipate Dr. Dale to talk for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes and then answer questions.

Dr. Dale is a dynamic speaker who spent six hours with all of our RISD coaches this summer in a professional development setting. His outstanding presentation convinced our administration to bring him back to talk with our athletes and parents as one more step in bringing all concerned to the same page. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow in your role as a parent of a high school athlete.
