Good job Shane!

Super idea to benefit Ashlyn, and a chance to get a few games in at a nearby location before the circuit starts. Morganton is a great place to play, and hopefully we can make this good for Ashlyn!

 

Update

I have noticed over the years that baseball with legion and showcase and softball travelball at the 16 1nd 18 age groups the first 2 weekends in June have a hard time because of the older kids go to the beach for the annual "Graduation" week party. You should have a lot of younger teams but as you stated will probablly have to combine 16 and 18. Hope you have a good turnout it is for a good cause. I'm sure with all the medical bills they have gotten it will be needed

 

I think for the most part, graduations will be the following weekend during the Early Bird. This is the weekend of the High School State Championships though, but that doesn't affect too many players, although I hope a couple of ours are at the State for their benefit. As I mentioned before, not only is this a fantastic idea to help Ashlyn and her family, but it will give us some field time before the Early Bird. That's better than practice IMHO.
