Welcome to the 2010 Texas High School Baseball Season.  This promises to be another exciting year for Mustang Baseball.  District 5-5A will be loaded again each and every game will require our very best!  The 2009 squad provided many highlights that culminated with a 22-10 record and a Bi-District Championship.  The 5-0 victory over Coppell at CHHS will not be forgotten soon.  High school baseball doesn’t get a whole lot better than that.  We will have to say goodbye to 15 seniors that left their mark on this program.  We wish each of these guys the very best as they move on to the next chapter in their life.   

This season will provide many exciting events.  It will mark the 15th anniversary of the Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine 1st Pitch Classic.  Their sponsorship of our annual 16-team invitational tournament is unprecedented.  We will install the 3rd class into the Mustang Baseball Hall of Fame in February.  What a privilege it is to honor these gentlemen who left such a lasting legacy on this program.  The banquet honoring these deserving men will cap off the Alumni Weekend which will feature alumni games versus the JV and Varsity teams.  The Mustang Varsity will travel to Austin in March for the Austin ISD Tournament.  During spring break we will play our annual game at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington versus Waxahachie.  As you can see, we will be very busy as we enter the new decade.

Mustang Baseball is very fortunate to have the Tenth Man Club to provide support.  Under the leadership of Tracy Evatt, this organization provides the means for additional financial support so important to run a quality athletic program during this challenging economic time.  Partnering with GCISD, our booster club has also made sure that we practice and play in one of the finest facilities in America.  The Ballpark in Grapevine is something that we can all be proud of.  Our ballpark is recognized as one of the top high school facilities around because of the commitment to making improvements over the years.  We have embarked on a new challenge.  We are attempting to raise the funds to add a first class workout facility to the complex.  We have very few options when the weather and field conditions force us inside.  To get this done, we are partnering with the Diamond Dreams Foundation.  This process began with a fundraising golf tournament held in October and will continue until the money needed to complete this project is raised.

This year you will hear and see the term “TEAM U”.  It is our 2010 slogan and a reminder that all great teams are made up of individuals who strive to be the very best that they can be.  We will be successful because each individual will take it upon himself to make this a reality.  There will be challenges along the way and hopefully many celebrations as well.  Good luck and may God bless each of us on this journey!
