PBR: Describe the atmosphere at T.R. Hughes for the Class Four State Championship. What were your high school statistics? Name some players that played a key role in Valle Catholic's success.

PBR: What are you goals for your senior season?

Basler: Some of my goals for senior season are to bat .550 with at least 20 stolen bases, 2 home runs, and a .600 OBP.  Pitching, I want to have a perfect record, 0.500 ERA, and win another state championship.
