While one season nears its end, another starts in Coconut Creek, with several teams in action on the field.
The Monarch High School baseball team recorded a pair of wins following games against Cooper City and Olympic Heights Community High School with their new coach Liam Burns. The Knights beat Cooper City 6-5 and then went on to lose 11-0 against Coral Springs High School.
“I was thrilled with the way my team battled, fighting back from early deficits in each of our first two games,” Burns said. “Our discipline at the plate and work ethic was on full display. To be able to get my first career win with this group of guys is very special to me. I look forward to the road ahead, and all that’s to come.”
The Knights went 9-11 last year and will play Boyd H. Anderson High School in their next game on Wednesday, February 19, at 3:45 p.m.
