Christian Norris is a senior on the Antioch Community High School varsity baseball team, coached by ACHS Physicial Education and Driver’s Education teacher Paul Petty. The team already began preparing for the upcoming games, and Norris is excited for his final season of high school baseball to start.

What position do you play?

I play outfield and first base.

How long have you been playing?

I have played baseball since I was four years old, so this will be my 14th season, I believe.

What personal goals do you have for this season?

My personal goals for this season are to improve my batting average and record more RBI’s (runs batted in), as well as do whatever I can to help the team win as many games as possible.

What goals does the team have?

As a team, our main goals are to get first in conference and to win a regional, which we haven’t done in a while. After winning a regional, the rest of our goals would rise from that point, but we are focused on the regional for now.

What are some challenges the team will face this season?

Some challenges our team will face are having a younger team this year, so the juniors will have to step up and get used to the varsity level quickly. Another challenge would be some players who don’t normally pitch might have to step up, as well. We are a little short on pitchers this year,
