YHC Baseball-Coach Robinson


note: the above article is taken from the YHC baseball website
Congratulations to Rick Robinson-Head Coach of our favorite YHC Mountain Lions Baseball Team-on his 500th Career Win!
Among all his accomplishments (and the list is a long one), I think the best thing about Coach Robinson is not that he leads his team to know the value in victory but rather that he leads his team to know the value in the Lord. It's rare in life to find people who are able to do both!
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

YHC Baseball-Region XVII Champions!!!

Coach Robinson and the YHC Mountain Lions have captured the Region XVII Championship for the 2008 season. This weekend they host Walters State Community College in a best 2 out of 3 series to determine the District Championship.

These games will prove to be a battle between two great teams as the winner will move on to Grand Junction and the 51st JUCO World Series. Both teams have earned spots in the past, YHC in 2007 and Walters State most recently in 2006.

Come out and support our Mountain Lions as they move one step closer to competing for the National Championship. Game 1 is set for Friday night. Check www.yhc.edu/athletics/baseball.aspx for game times and updates.
