Braves Baseball Honored by Board of Supervisors
The Napa County Board of Supervisors honored the Justin-Siena High School baseball team, the 2015 CIF North Coast Section Division IV champion, at its meeting on Tuesday.
The Braves (17-10 overall) received a proclamation from the Supervisors, who proclaimed June 23 as “Justin-Siena Baseball Team Day” in Napa County.
“It was very nice,” said Justin-Siena coach Allen Rossi, who is assisted by Jim Campbell, Spencer Czekalewski, Tim Malloy and Greg Evans. “I spoke about our team, the accomplishment of winning that Section championship.”
Justin-Siena ended the year by winning each of its four playoff games in the 16-team single-elimination bracket. The Braves had wins over Kelseyville (9-2), Cloverdale (18-1), St. Patrick-St. Vincent of Vallejo (3-2), and Saint Mary’s-Berkeley (2-1).
The meeting was attended by Justin-Siena’s new principal, John Bordelon; last year’s interim principal, David Holquin; and athletic director George Nessman.
Rossi spoke on behalf of his team at the ceremony.
“I talked about how we’re trying to use baseball to teach life lessons to the kids,” he said. “Some of the things that they learned this year were about being accountable for their actions, learning from their mistakes, owning up to their mistakes.”
