Recap of the Southeast Region Championships

We all need to think back to last week...

The boys played 7 games at States in 4 days! Two days later we were all headed down to Andalusia, AL! Talk about a quick turnaround!!! So that would mean the boys played 14 games in just 11 days!!!

Southeast Region Championships...

20 teams from 6 states (VA, NC, SC, TN, AL, FL)...each team was a state champion in the region or runner up.

VA: 2 teams
NC: 3 teams
SC: 1 team
TN: 4 teams
AL: 4 teams
FL: 6 teams

All 3 NC teams finished in the final four!

We had over 70 parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, cousins and siblings watch our games!

We scored 79 runs in 7 games this tournament and allowed 24.

We did not have to leave a coach back in Suwanee, Georgia (hmmm...Coach Dave!!).

We received numerous compliments on our team (sportsmanship, class act, organized, positive and the list can go on).

We had many team bonding experiences at the restaurants, hotel and ballfields!

We had one of the loudest cheering sections!

There were many text messages going back and forth between families checking on travel routes and the whereabouts!

Everyone who witnessed these boys perform over the 4-tournament and to see them turn on the switch when they needed to...we will always share those memories together and nobody can ever take them away! It's hard to explain to others back home what we did each day, how we felt and what we were a part of...but, we have each other to remind ourselves what it took to be on this journey!
