Remembering part of the Pioneer family
|
Morris, a member of the 1992 state champion Pioneer squad, passed away last year.
During pregame ceremonies, the Pioneers dedicated their hitting facility to him, saying, ‘Opie played the game it was meant to be played, and during his three years as a Pioneer, he taught his teammates the concept of team, how to compete and how to play the game of baseball with a winning attitude.’

To conclude Tuesday’s ceremony Anthony, Heath’s father, threw out the ceremonial first pitch and accepted game balls signed by this year’s Pioneer squad.
