Baseball, so far, has been quite a ride. Loyal readers may notice that JMichael is now wearing a different uniform - he was selected for the Kent County All Star Team. As an All Star, he represents the whole of Kent County. About seven of the Galena Lions are also now all-stars, so JMichael is in good company. He is the all-star first base man.
One double elimination round robin tournament later, the Kent County All Stars are the District 6 Champions! Maryland is divided into 8 Districts and District 6 is comprised of Kent, Queen Anne's, Caroline, Talbot and Dorchester Counties. Winning that tournament was great, but, even greater than that? The team is STILL undefeated. Crazy. JMichael is pictured here, second from the left, standing.
He is pictured here in the Kent County News. Front page of the sports section, too.
JMichael said, Mom, our story went on the front page, and the World Cup was on the third page! He was pretty impressed by the fact that his team's win was considered more newsworthy that the World Cup, but, one day we will talk about this and he will realize that soccer just doesn't hold water with everyone as much as it does with him. For now, though, we will give him his victory.
Baseball is continuing now, with the Maryland State Tournament - which will be in Baltimore. If the boys can win the State, we move on to a tournament in Rhode Island. So far Kent County has been very generous and proud of the boys - the County has bought all the uniforms and gives the team manager a budget for trophies and water for the games. If we have to travel to Rhode Island, let's hope the State can help out with travel vouchers. Go get 'em boys!
James is loving this adventure with JMichael and his team. He's reliving his younger days as a boy of summer, plus, he's getting to help out with coaching. Don't they look happy? On to State!!!
