Two Panthers chosen to 16 U team
TREY SORRELLS and
Austin Robinson have been
selected to be part of the first
ever Georgia Dugout Club
16U Team GA. In the past,
the Georgia Dugout Club has
hosted a Senior Team GA
and Junior Team GA for the
best players in their respec
tive classes and this year have
expanded it to include a 16U
team.
Sorrells and Robinson were
chosen amongst all freshmen
and sophomores in the entire
state and will represent the
state of Georgia this summer
in two national tournaments
in West Palm Beach, Florida
and Cary, North Carolina.
Both tournaments will be
against other 16U teams
representing their respective
states. The tournament in
Cary, N.C. will be played at
the USA Baseball Training
Facility.
“We’re excited that our
guys are getting some state
wide recognition for their
efforts on the field,’’ said
coach Tommy Fountain. “It
is great to have these guys,
along with guys like Quinn
Grogan and Andy Williams,
all be a part of a very special
sophomore class. When you
take those five guys that have
seen significant varsity time
and then add what’s com
ing up the ranks, you can’t
help but think about what the
future holds for our program.
“Trey and Austin will rep
resent us well this summer
and will get an opportunity to
play against some of the best
16U baseball players in the
nation. That’s only going to
make them and our program
better.’’
on Johnson High School. We
can’t worry about Jefferson,
East Jackson or Hart. We have
to worry about Johnson right
now. That’s what we’re going
to focus on over the summer.”
Kirk said for the first time
in a few years, the team will
be going to camp. They
will attend the University of
West Georgia’s Fellowship of
Christian Athletes Camp July
26-28.
“I think that’s going to be
a large transition for us,” he
added.
Kirk also credits the consis
tency of his staff to making a
lot of the excitement levels stay
where they are.
“When you can take the
same people in the same places,
the kids get used to you and
