"Competing against the best is what competing is all about," said Gilliam. "This conference gives players so many opportunities to find out how good they can be. It will always be a challenge to win games in Region 14, and we embrace this competition and want players that are up to the challenge. We want to build teams that love to play hard and players that want to grow as people and in the game mentally. It's a process and structure to build a championship level program. It takes a lot of pieces and developments. We have a good structure in place with all of our coaches, and are steadily shaping and putting our plan in place for the future of BPCC Baseball."
