Sandy Springs Little Leaguers on a Roll

Last Sunday, the 10-year-old Sandy Springs Storm swept the Dizzy Dean State Tournament series to go undefeated and ultimately win the state title.

The team, managed by Bill McGee and Coached by Jay Phelps, is 20-4 for the season. They won their last three tournaments including the Dizzy Dean District Warm-Up Tournament, the Dizzy Dean District 4 Tournament (where they were defending their 2011 District Championship Title) and the Dizzy Dean Georgia State Tournament (July 5-8) in Valdosta, where they defeated:

Shaw Park 16-2
Druid Hills 13-7
Union County 6-4
Buckhead Bucks 11-4
Valdosta Sluggers 21-6 (the tournament hosts)

The team will resume practice next Sunday, July 15th at 6 pm at Morgan Falls, preparing for the 2012 Dizzy Dean World Series that begins July 20th in Southhaven, Mississippi.

Following practice, the boys will be shaving Coach Bill McGee’s head as a promise he made to them if they won state. They will also be shaving Mike Lewey’s beard as an added incentive offered to them.
