Blountville Blue out of Western Tournament

Blountville played a nailbiter to a good Unicoi blue team. We showed outstanding effort. This game came down to whoever hit last was going to win. The game went back and forth at the end. We missed several key plays and wasn't able to connect on much needed bats at critical times. We come up short with a 13-12 finish. However finishing in the top six teams of a tournment with 20 teams shows what kind of team we are. A great one!!! Austin was player of the game as given by tournament officials. We are going to recollect our thoughts, get in some more practice and get ready to play our last tournament on Saturday at home in the Blountville 7 & 8 year old invitational tournament.

Blountville Blue takes first lost in Western Tournament

We played Honaker tonight for a chance to stay in the winner's bracket. This game didn't quite turn out the way we hoped. Final score being 8-4. Several boys made great defensive plays but our hitting was not up to par. Darian was named player of the game by tournament officials. One of the strong points this all star season is that the boys are learning to play as a team. Another thing we are learning is that the team who does the little things right takes home the win. Although we took home a loss we are going to use it as a stepping stone and get ready to play again on Tuesday @ 6:00.

Blountville Blue advances

Blountville played a great game. They had an outstanding defensive game which helped them overcome a strong hitting Bristol, Va team. Several boys made key hits to score much needed runs. Our player of the game as recognized by the tournament officials was Austin. He had an outstanding game at 3rd tonight. At the end of the night it was Blountville 13 Bristol, VA 7. Good Job Blountville Blue!!!! We play Honaker on Sat. @ 6:00.

Thanks Coach for all that you do for the team!!!!

After a very long rain delay on Saturday the All stars got to finally play Bristol Western. The boys got off to a sluggish start but finally came alive in the final inning to win 14-4. They did this in the fourth inning and the game was called because of the slaughter rule. We even batted around in that inning. This win put us in the winner's bracket therefore we play Bristol Eastern on Wed. @ 6:00. Everyone put up a great effort to get the win.
