assistant coach Mike Rhue looks on as Jesse Bustamante delivers a
pitch against Pima Community College. EPCC lost three of the four
games.
"My
players have to play hard, play intelligent, and follow one rule -
always do what is right," said Hunt.
Hunt's goal is to encourage them to graduate and be better men. “He
brings a lot of intensity and team work," said catcher Josh Cordova.
"He taught us things that we never thought of and he knows what
he wants.”
"When I met coach Hunt it was really easy to relate to him, we’re
both real intense," said SS Hector Bernal.
