This weekend the semi-finals took place. In fact, a new high school baseball club was born in Okinawa. Under the name of “Energy Sports High School”, which opened in Nago City, we are taking the first step toward the dream Koshien!
16 first-year students of “Energy Sports High School” opened in Sedake, Nago City, who appeared at the entrance ceremony venue like an entrance march at a tournament.
Fifteen of them had a day of departure, which is hard to see anywhere else, as a baseball club.
Kennoro Makishi (Greetings from the new student representative) “The baseball club is grateful to be able to concentrate on their favorite baseball here in Sedake, and while working hard, we will do our utmost to participate in Koshien and create a new tradition.”
After the entrance ceremony, the first-year students started as a new baseball club.
Haruki Tatsuyama from Yomitan Naka “I’m worried and I’m excited because we’re making it.”
Selected by Yotaro Oshiro from Kyohara Naka “I think I can concentrate on baseball, so I chose it here.”
Kohagura Kota, a player from the middle of the world, “Because the baseball environment is blessed, there is also Kamiya-sensei.”
The team is led by Yoshimune Kamiya. After working at Yaeyama and Maehara / Chubu Commercial High School, he led Urasoe Commercial High School in 2008 and became the best 4 in the summer Koshien. At Misato Kogyo, the famous general who has 43 years of teaching experience who led to the first participation in Senbatsu in the history of school is also strengthening his feelings for a new start.
Director Yoshimune Kamiya “I think that these children are also entering a place where there is nothing yet, so I think they have made a great decision. I have a strong desire to take care of these children for three years and produce results during that time. I did. “
That strong feeling is also reflected in the practice environment. Black soil will be put in the ground that used the site of the former Kushi Elementary School, and a ball-proof net will be installed in the future. In the future, an indoor practice field and a stadium will be built on the premises.
Athletes will devote themselves to practice early in the morning, afternoon, and at night while making full use of those facilities. The practice time is made possible by the “dormitorium system” players, who will leave their parents and live on their own for the next three years.
Kennoro Makishi, father Ryoji “I want you to do your best.”
Kennoro Makishi from Gushikawa Higashichu “I think there are some things I don’t understand for the first time, but everyone is living in a dormitory, so I want to help each other and create this school in a good atmosphere. An environment where I can concentrate on baseball. I think it’s a very good environment (Q. Doesn’t it look tight?) No, I think it’s tough lol “
Players who have selected a new baseball club and joined the club amid the difficulty of starting from scratch and the overwhelming amount of practice. Behind that determination, there are already clear goals.
Haruki Tatsuyama “The goal is to participate in Koshien and advance to the top of Koshien within three years.”
Kohagura Kota “It’s very easy to do because I’m aiming for Koshien two years from now.”
On the day of entering the dormitory, Kamiya said to the players who came in with preparedness.
Director Yoshimune Kamiya “Everyone chose this place with the determination to go to Koshien. Of course, our staff also decided to take care of the students and sleep together. Three years later, I am myself. Starts with the determination that daily accumulation will pave the way for daily accumulation. “
Chasing the big dream of Koshien. The birthplace of Enagic Sports High School is taking the first step.
Announcer Kaneshiro “A great baseball club has been born. Do you already participate in this summer’s tournament?”
Announcer Terasaki “Well, if you are in the process of applying for membership in the Takano Ren, you will be able to participate in the official game from this summer. It may not be so far. That’s all for sports! “
