CHANEY BASEBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 2) WITH ERIC GRUBER

YOUNGSTOWN OH-  Work hard. Be prepared. Earn everything. These are the principles that define Chaney High School and Youngstown’s West Side. For Head Coach Eric Gruber, these three aspects of not only the game, but of life, have more than exemplified the adversity that this baseball season has brought.

Having only a handful of games under their belt, both the coaching staff as well as the players are continuing to work through the cancellations with the tournament rapidly approaching.  Working Hard with many days of added practice, The Cowboys have always known how to put their head down and grind.

Be prepared for a sport that has showcased no game is guaranteed, but you need to be ready when that bell rings. Chaney stays ready! Earn everything because nothing is given. Perhaps the tagline for all of Northeastern Ohio, but does any team represent that as much as Chaney? One this is certain, The Cowboys intend on earning everyone’s respect back. One sport at a time.
