Well, we accomplished something that hasn't been done before - placing 2 teams in the Chanpionship game. I'll provide some details in the next few days.

Wow...what a run.  We went 12-0 for the week and had some amazing performances by our kids.  Here is a rundown of the EvoShield Canes 16u players from VA:

Andrew Ashur - LHP - Georgetown Prep '15

Some of my observations from the week:

1) JB Bukauskas announced he will graduate early form StoneBridge to attend UNC.

2) Logan Harvey had a great tourney, including a walk off double.  He is one of the top 2-3 catchers in the state.  He threw out a guy with a 1.91 in the game.

3) Connor Eason was named Co-Most Valuable Pitcher with Logan Allen (NC).

4) Stevie Mangrum and Hunter Taylor absolutely mash. 

5) Austin Henry plays a great 2B.  He made a couple of web gems in the Championship Game.

6) Doug Gressly will develop into a frontline pitcher with his raw stuff.  He was 85-86 with tons of life.  This is significant because he just started pitching.
