Season Recap: JV Baseball

The JV Indians dominated for most of the 2023 season, and showed perseverance by finishing strong after minor hiccups. In total, the boys were 10-3 on the year under coach Kyle Dampier.

Throughout the first several games of the 2023 season, the Indians won with relative ease before hitting the first speed bump. Starting with an opening 11-1 win over Commerce, TFS rattled off eight consecutive victories, which included a pair of 1-run wins over Barrow Arts & Sciences Academy and Franklin County. Aside from those close contests, the Indians scored 10-plus runs in five of the eight wins. A 2-0 win over Commerce to end the month of March secured the 8-0 start.

Adversity came by way of Buford, who handed TFS a double-header sweep in a 7-0 and 5-2 loss. The losing streak then hit three with a 7-5 loss to West Oak (SC). Breaking out of the funk, TFS poured on 13 runs in a 12-run win over West Oak in the double-header finale, and polished off the campaign with an 11-1 win over rivals Rabun Gap.

The Indians scored 101 runs overall, averaging 7.8 per game. Opponents crossed the plate a mere 43 times (3.3/game). Several players were consistenly among the leaders, including Gregory Mendez, Diego Gonzalez, Wyatt Dorsey, Chris Waldron, and others. Mendez and Griffin Harkness were also among those who pitched very well throughout the season.
