The NCAA has brought an end to the Lynx baseball team's 2007 season. Thirty-six wins, a 5-2 record against nationally ranked teams--go figure. Before signing off for a while, let me add my voice to the chorus of praise for the coaches, families, and especially the students who make up this team.

Coach Cleanthes and his assistants, Rob Schrier and Steve Wright, among their many virtues, are great teachers and motivator of young men. The families have become a community of steadfast and loving supporters, not just of their own sons but of the team as a whole.

As for the players, they embody much of what we value and honor most at Rhodes College. As I have told them and others on several occasions, I don't know of a more impressive group of students--of any kind--on our campus. I hope you will find time at some point to scroll down all the posts below and refresh some of your best memories of the 2007 season.
