Pine Creek baseball team going for a first

The Pine Creek baseball program is going for a first, “When you think about your career, you’re like this is my chance, this is the group,” says Pine Creek head coach Glenn Millhauser.
So you’re saying there’s a chance..a chance for the Eagles to win their first state championship in baseball and there’s a good reason why, “This team is the tightest team I’ve ever been around. It’s like a cult almost there just so tight,” says Millhauser, “Have a little team dinner, maybe play some Fortnight sit there talk about what’s going on at school. It’s just us boys having fun,” says Jay Onken,

“A lot of us have been together since we were eight, nine years old we’ve been playing baseball for that long together.” Because you’ve been playing together since you were eight, nine years old, how much would it mean to win a state championship? Olson SOT “It would mean everything just like the icing on the cake,” says Justin Olson.

Jay Onken won a state championship as a junior on the football team, he constantly reminds his teammates, “I always like wearing stuff that says state champs around the baseball field cuz it reminds us of what were pushing for to because football has had success and now it’s baseball’s turn,” says Onken.

The Eagles are out to prove that they won’t be easily broomed by the Denver schools, “You know I think they down play us a lot but when we go up and play them we’ll show them that we can play too and that we are really good,” says Olson, “There’s been a lot of doubting us because they they say there’s not much competition down here for us but I think it started finally starting to get etched into there heads that we can play ball too and we will play right up there with the rest of them,” says Onken
