Cameron senior catcher Wyatt Burnett drives in the Dragons’ first run in three games Monday against Lafayette.

Dragons go from whip to whipping post after slide

The Cameron High School Dragon Baseball Team experienced its first bout of adversity after undergoing a three-game losing streak culminating in Monday’s 11-1 loss to Lafayette.

Although opening the season with a 26-run mercy rule of Trenton to open the season, the Dragons found themselves on the receiving end of three consecutive run rule endings but first-year Coach Justin Simpson said there is no need to panic this early in the season.

“Some of our younger guys are having difficulty with [composure], but that’s something we’re going to have to work through,” Simpson said. “As they get put in those pressure situations, they just have to know I believe in them and they can handle that situation. That’s why they’re there. We just need to get over that mental hump ... The scoreboard is not a good representation of who we are. We’re a lot better.”
