| Hey everyone,
My name is Brandon, back in the Warhawks days it was BP and many other forms derived from that. I am one of the original Warhawks, and the only one to play for the team until High School. I originally played 3rd base until Coach Brooks and I realized I was awful at the job and then made a transfer to the outfield where I continued that until High School playing for Chaparral. I played for the Varsity team my Senior year as a relief pitcher/closer, which is strangely the first and only year I pitched. I now attend the University of Colorado at Boulder and am majoring in Astrophysics. I have maintained a strong relationship with Coach Brooks through the years along with many of the fellow alumni.

| Hey,
As a Warhawk I was known as Dano. The Warhawks days were the most fun of my life. I met a lot of new friends who I still talk to and hung out with all through highschool. Coach Brooks and the core of the team stuck together and developed a great chemistry which led to a lot of development and wins. All of the trips we took were a blast and my best baseball memories will always be with me in a maroon hat with a gray W on it.

| Hey I'm Caffrey. I was apart of the original Warhawks then went to the Parker Bears for a year then I returned to my true home as a Warhawk before high school. I was apart of the team for a total of 3 years. I played up through my junior year as mostly a catcher and I regret not playing my senior year to pursue Civil Air Patrol and my job. I'm currently attending Metro in Denver for Aviation Management and going to CU Boulder for Air Force ROTC where I will be an officer in the Air Force after college. It is what I have wanted to do my whole life.
I still get to be around the greatest game on earth and the new generation Warhawks as I am now umpiring high school and little league ball.

| Hey names Orwig, Erich Orwig. I played baseball since I was 3 and stopped after my sophore year in highschool. I quit because I will NEVER let ANYONE tell me what I am. In the summer league I was going to try out for second base. (We had several fine catchers but a horrible infield) Though my main position was catcher I was more than qualified to play any position on the field. However my coach told me to "shut up, you're a catcher now go get some gear on." So I did my BEST practice and tryout ever. After which the Varsity Coach (who hadnt even heard of me after 2 years of great games) came down and asked me who I was and why he had never seen me before... I have had tryouts 5x in front of him. After that practice I joined Lacrosse, where I started the first day as the fastest player on our (that year) best in state summer varsity team. I think it was a fair trade, good coaches and a starting position rather than switching off with 2 other catchers and having coaches who dont know their own players beyond their favorites.
Currently I am majoring in chemistry at CU in Colorado Springs with the final goal of being a pharmacist. I still love baseball, but after that last year I have only returned once to play for a different school in a tournament. Ironically we beat Smoky that game. :P
Understand me when I say that these coaches at the warhawks know what they are doing. They keep their eyes open. They might not see every single time when you do well, but they will notice when you struggle. I caught for 7 years before playing for these coaches. And nobody has given me better feedback. Be open to what they have to say. It may be different. But it will make you better. Other coaches, you may find yourself overlooked. Always try your best. Its the only way to get better...
Sorry bout the long post xD

| HEY EVERYONE!!!!
wellp back in the one year i played i was known as z-scott ( pretty original i know). i used to pitch and play outfield for the warhawks. I went to Arapahoe high school and in my senior year became the ace pitcher and then moved on to go to play down at odessa college in texas as a pitcher. Im double majoring in Advanced Math and In engineering. The warhawks was probably the most fun I had in all the pre high school years even though i was only on for a year but it was still really fun!
And way to write a book erich

| HA Kyle!! I am up for musical requests, but gansta rap for 10 year olds is a bit out of my spectrum...lol Have you watched that video? ha ha
Really great to see all of you on here and how well you have all turned out. We (us new coaches) hear about you often from Brooks. If you remember, that is one man that can tell a story!!
I stole some pics of the Alumni Warhawks from Kyle's FB page....if you have any other pics or requests....please send them along.

| Hola, Hey im Lucas, I think some called me the nuke back in the day. I caught and threw fools out from home all day and pitched when Corey and Austin hit too many people to continue pitching. Im currently in the Marine Corps and just got back from my first deployment. Im stationed in Camp Pendleton, Cali near San Diego if anyone ever wants to stop by.
