Attitude key to South Fayette's baseball success

Brad Everett, on the South Fayette baseball team's season end  at the hands of  Riverside.

"It might sound cliché, but having a winning attitude is nearly essential for teams hoping to accomplish big things.

As has been the case the past couple of seasons, few teams personify that state of mind better than the South Fayette High School baseball team.

South Fayette's season came to an end a week ago when the Lions fell to defending champion Riverside in a PIAA Class AA quarterfinal, but what happened in that game and the 23 preceding it exemplified what this team -- and program, in general -- is all about.

"We're winners," said junior center fielder Mike Fetchet. "Going into every game, we expect to win. We came into the season expecting to win the section title. We knew we had the players, so if we played well we could win WPIALs and states.""
