The grooming machine also took some abuse as
the vandals appear to have broken the hydraulic arm on the drag which could be
a costly repair. "The district mechanics are coming out today to take a
look at it," said Vogt in preparation for the worst news.
The second year head coach has made it his
mission to change the culture at Ayala which hasn't had a winning season since
2006. Vogt and his staff have worked hard to get players to buy in to what
they're preaching and the team is beginning to see the results having lost only
three one-run games since the end of last season.
"The kids came on their winter break to
help with sod cutting and general maintenance," said Vogt. "The
players are upset because they have put so much time in only to have someone
disrespect their work."
Seems like great motivation for a hungry group
of players.
Update: As of Thursday, 1/31/13, no new leads have come forward during the investigation. Coach Vogt told me that the booster club has put up a reward for any information that leads to the apprehension of the culprits.
