Donald W. Reynolds Y Hosts First Annual Rising Stars T-Ball Tournament

With approximately 500 people in attendance, the city complex was very busy.
I want to say a special “thank you” to all the volunteers who helped make our T-Ball tournament a success: David Richey, Liz Richey, Mandy Goodwin, McKenzie Reep, Hannah Richey, Jillian Goodwin, Kasey Reep, Presley Reep, and Shelby Gardner.  You are very much appreciated.
Also, “thank you” to our tournament director, Coach Brian Eagle, for all of his hard work getting this together.

It was a beautiful day for a T-Ball tournament.

Our parents/fans were awesome.

I feel very fortunate to have the coaches I have this year in our T-Ball division.  We have some very knowledgeable, competitive guys, who understand what this is about – coaching these kids, and I love that!

This tournament play was new to a lot of people so to watch the emotions of our fans was really cool for me.  There were tons of questions and you could see the parents getting more into it as the day went on.

You turn a scoreboard on and the competitive nature comes out.  To be able to control that with remembering that the kids are 5-6 year olds is harder than one might think.  Our coaches did a GREAT job with that this weekend and I look forward to watching these kids grow this year.
The championship game involved our very own Warren Astros, coached by Bo & Jay Hembree and Justin West, vs. the Monticello Redsox.  The Warren Astros came out on top with a score of 21-20! GREAT JOB ASTROS!

Regular season starts Monday night (April 4, 2016) at 5:00pm at the Jimmy Russell Baseball Field.  Come out and watch the future be developed right before your very eyes.
