elcome to Rock Hill Baseball! On behalf of Prosper Independent School District and the Prosper ISD Board of W Trustees I would like to welcome you to our great community and to tonight’s baseball game. I would like to extend a special greeting to the students, parents, and community members from our visiting school district as well as our own team as we share in an evening of celebrating the competition between schools.

I would also like to thank our coaches for their commitment to the overall development of each of the student athletes that compete this evening. A good coach can change a game, but a great coach can change a life. The investment by the coaches on the field tonight comes from the heart to mold and develop the student athletes.

The additional time and effort for student athletes should be applauded and admired. The work, dedication, character building and responsibility you see before you tonight will have a lifelong impact as each of these student athletes grows into adulthood. The moments that occur tonight are beyond special as these stories become stories that our student athletes will continue to tell through the years.

Tonight, baseball fans will share a universal language that will exude passion, enthusiasm and raw emotion. Please remember how important the moments you have before you tonight are to our student athletes. Support them, encourage them, and help us teach them the love of sportsmanship.

In the end, baseball is a game about life that teaches us all how to work together as a team. There is just something exceptional about Rock Hill Baseball as they have embarked on their inaugural season and it is my hope that you will enjoy your visit to Prosper ISD and live in the moment. As fans and supporters, we ask that you respect the efforts of both teams along with the umpires as we enjoy tonight’s competition for there will be many young athletes and young fans observing and following your lead.

As always, we appreciate your support of our students and wish you a safe journey home.

FIGHT ROCK FIGHT,

Dr. Holly Ferguson, Ed. D. Superintendent of Schools

elcome to the Hill! Here in Prosper ISD Athletics, it is our goal to develop better student athletes and to deW velop better people. The entire coaching staff of Prosper ISD will encourage and empower student athletes to become better students, athletes, leaders and people. Prosper ISD student athletes have the expectation they will

consistently work to improve themselves, their teammates and the game as a whole. Prosper ISD Parents will be supportive and positive at all times and help their student athletes to absorb the life lessons being taught. Athletics is an educational process which requires all three vital components – Coaches, Parents & Student Athletes – to unite together to create the best possible educational athletic experience.

There are unbelievable successes happening in Prosper ISD Athletics. What an amazing year we have already had at Rock Hill HS in the inaugural year. We have had State Qualifiers in XC, a District Champion, a Regional Champion, most programs qualifying for playoffs in year one and the best school culture in the State! This is a direct reflection of the great student athletes, students, administrators, parents and overall community we have around Rock Hill HS! We are excited to see what this Spring brings for our first year of the RHHS Baseball program.

No matter the outcome of tonight’s game, every student and student athlete involved appreciates your support while they perform and more importantly, afterwards, no matter the outcome.

Honor the Game,

Coach Valerie Little Director of Athletics Prosper ISD

H

ello ROCK NATION Baseball, it has been a privilege to help open this incredible campus and I have loved every minute of being a part of our Blue Hawk Family. When I talk to people everyone always asks “what has been the best part of opening a high school”? Without a doubt it has been working with our students to help “Build the Hill” as we say. Nearly every detail of what makes Rock Hill, Rock Hill, has been selected and developed by our kids. The most notable of that is our Core Values, Integrity, Creativity, Service, Excellence, Empathy, and Unity. These values are the foundation of who we are and together they form the acronym “ICSEEU” which you will see everywhere on our campus.

That acronym has become a promise to our students that at Rock Hill we want to make sure they are seen, heard and loved everyday they step foot on our campus or are participating in our eschool platform. My hope is that when you get a chance to visit our and talk with our staff you walk away with a feeling that we truly put our students first and absolutely LOVE what we do in getting to be a part of their life each day.

There is no doubt that these values are fully integrated into our baseball program and their “BCM” mentality day in and day out. Coach Stanton and his players are the epitome of what we want in our athletic programs and I am incredibly proud of the standard they are setting for Blue Hawk baseball. I can’t wait to see all the amazing things they will accomplish on the field and the difference they will make in our community. Go ROCK and good luck this year RHHS Baseball!!

BCM: Blue Collar Mentality Rock Hill Baseball began our program by building a Blue Collar Mentality and building everything we do around that motto. Most of my players have something to prove and something to play for. With this mindset and mentality, players become unselfish and start playing for anyone but themselves. The accolades they receive are met with praise to others for these accomplishments. My players understand that if it wasn’t for their teammates, coaches and family, they wouldn’t be able to accomplish their goals.

I asked my players last summer to be ready on the very first day of school to explain to me and their teammates what BCM means to them and how it can be adapted to fit their personal lives, their baseball career and the Rock Hill Baseball program.

This is how we developed our Blue Collar Mentality, and how our team is making a mark on the legacy of this program. We’ve discussed everything from putting our heads down and going to work, to always doing the right thing and being a man of integrity who does not cuss or swear, to being able to handle adversity and proving to everyone what great baseball players we are. Our players are focused on being good teammates, and our coaching staff is dedicated to making them better individuals…teaching them work ethic and how to accept their role on the team.

Fight rock fight!

Listen to the advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

Proverbs 19:20-21
