With the spring sports season starting, our Tualatin High School (TuHS) baseball team gears up for what seems to be an unforgettable season. TuHS senior Joey Mattecheck gave The Wolf an inside scoop on how he feels about this last season. 

What’s something you look forward to for this season? 

Mattecheck (M): We have 16 seniors, and I’ve been playing with a lot of these guys most of my life, so I’m just excited to have one last season with them. I’m going to embrace it for sure.

Favorite memory from playing in high school?

M: Probably coming in to pitch and close the game against Sunset when we upset them in the playoffs. 

How do you feel about this being your last high school season?

M: Nostalgic.

Do you plan to play baseball beyond high school?  

M: I don’t plan on playing baseball after high school. It’s definitely sad, but I’m ready and excited to move on to the next chapter of my life.

With a mix of sentimentality and eagerness, Mattecheck and the TuHS baseball team are set to make this season one to remember.
