Take Me Out to the Ballgame The team was set. The batter was up, the pitch was thrown, and the Varsity Baseball team was soaring into action. The strive for another championship was evident. Through much hard work and dedication, the Dukes, coached by Buddy Martin, made it to the James River District semi-finals. Unfortunately, they were defeated by the Buckingham Knights. Even though the Dukes didn’t make it to Regionals, they did prove to be the most successful Varsity Baseball team CHS has seen in a long time. Coach Martin tries to figure Out what is going on.
