LAFAYETTE, Indiana (WLFI) - The Central Catholic baseball team has already begun the 2012 season. The Knights are off to a 2-0 start and have high hopes for 2012. Six Central Catholic seniors hope to finish their high school careers with 4 straight Class A State Championships.
"That's our goal, it's our number one goal and has been for quite a while. These seniors, that is all they have known so we have a long way to go before we even think about that but we are off to a good start and I know the kids are really hungry to get going," said head coach Tim Bordenet.
The Knights have always relied on pitching and defense on their way to 5 State Championships. CC has another good 1-2 punch on the mound this season with seniors Austin Munn and Nick Stone.
"We worked all off-season, the day after State some of us even got in the weight room and started lifting so I mean we are definitely looking forward to getting back to Victory Field. I know I talked to Austin a little bit and we don't see it happening any other way. We don't see ourselves losing anywhere, we just see another state title and another trophy coming home," said senior Nick Stone.
Lofty expectations have been developed at CC which is a result of the Knights playing in 5 State Championship games since 2004. In those 5 appearances, the Knights are 5-0.
"It's always our expectation to get back to Victory Field, we have a really good team with a lot of starters coming back so I mean every day we are just going out and getting better and trying to get back to Victory Field like the last three years," said senior Austin Munn.
