The Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé Crimson Bears boys baseball team will honor their senior players on Saturday at Adair Kennedy Field following a game against the visiting Ketchikan Kings.
The Crimson Bears and Kings will play a double header on Saturday with the first game at 3 p.m. Senior ceremonies will follow that first game. The second contest is at 6 p.m. (JDHS will also play against Ketchikan at 7 p.m., Friday, on AKF).
“A lot of our seniors have been here all four years,” JDHS coach Chad Benz said. “They have all worked hard and they progressed as the years have gone by and have gotten better. It is fun to watch them grow and hopefully they have learned some values and good habits they can take with them when they leave here. Some of them have been better leaders than others but they have all worked hard and we appreciate them and we are going to miss them.”
