It was our first year dealing with some of the work issues with our older players, but as I explained to my players, that's just part of growing up and our priorities changing. On the positive side, the team was able to bring up some young talent. I would like to thank all my players for their efforts this past season and also my coaches, Jerry Cornelis and John Maccarone, my team administrator Linda Martone, all the parents and Glen Cove Jr. Baseball and Softball for their continued support over the years. A special thanks and good luck in the future to Kevin McGuire and Louie Mele who have completed their cardinal tenure as players. It was great, guys. Happy holidays to all."
