Congrats to those who made the All Tournament Team. I guess if you lose in the 1st round you can't make the All Tournament Team. Brandon Martin of Harrison County was deserving with his 8 2/3 innings of 4 hit and 0 earned runs with 7 K's and 5 BB's, 4 of which were intentional.

Martin had a great outing, but yes you have to win a game in the state tourney to have a player on the all-tourney team. Speaking of State Tourney Awards...congrats to the HC fans who brought more than 2/3 of the 5,364 people to the first round game vs. Lex Cath (a new state tourney record). To compare that...todays semifinal attendance was around 2,500.

Congrats to PRP and Zack Cox on being voted MVP. He has worked hard for what he has accomplished as a baseball player. Good luck in the future.

Congrats to LC's Shepherd. Wow, And he is just a freshmen. If he works hard and stays healthy he could be another Don Gullett. Good luck young man.

Where will Zach Cox be playing in college?
