This
has been a good year for local youth sports teams.
Parks
and Recreation department chief Fonda Davis said 4 local youth
baseball and softball teams have made it to the state level of
competition this year.
The
Ozone baseball team, which is made up of 11 and 12 year olds, will be
heading to the state baseball tournament in Marianna on July the
15th.
The
AA boys team, which are 6 to 8 year olds, will head to the state
tournament in Sebring which runs from June 30th through
the 4th of July.
The
girls ponytails team, which are 11 and 12 year olds, earned the
chance to compete at the state tournament in Bristol, as did the
Belles, which is made up of 13 to 15 years olds.
The
softball tournament will be held July 7th through the 9th.
The
county helps teams with travel expenses by providing 2500 dollars to
teams going to a state tournament and 5000 dollars for youth teams
reaching the national level.
But
that’s not enough to pay for the trip – the teams will be busy
fundraising over the next few weeks.
If
you would like to make a donation to the cause, contact the county
parks and recreation department for more information.
