Being picked to win it all in your first season in the league may not compare to the pressure we as coaches feel when Billy's mom comes over and wants to know why Billy is on the bench. Well, in the case of the Pines Stars they are feeling no pressure, because Billy is playing and playing very well I may say. The Pines Stars won their second consecutive tournament when they won the "Nike" Invitational last weekend. They defeated the Miami Tigers, Tamiami Yankees and high powered Miami Legends.

Now, this weekend they face the 8U division leader in the  Pro Ball Dodgers who is on top by a small margin over the Palm Beach Garden Thunder and the Wellington Warriors. The task is big for these Pines Stars, but the pressure is not there yet and Billy is still  playing, so this would be just another game for Coach Fred Matos.
