Great job MUDCATS! North Henry is proud of you! 
A message from Steve Maddox, the North Henry Director of Baseball: I am excited to announce the North Henry 8u Mudcats as the CHAMPIONS of the AABC Roberto Clemente World Series held at Richard Craig Park in McDonough. Coach Scott Powell, the Assistant Director of North Henry Youth Baseball, and his coaching staff led the Mudcats through the AABC District tournament, the AABC State tournament, and the AABC Southeast Region tournament to get to the World Series. Many teams have won the World Series in the past, but few, at least in recent years, have battled through the various stages to earn their place in the AABC World Series. The North Henry Mudcats played memorable baseball over the last few weeks and deserve all the praise that baseball fans can bestow. I do not have the words to express how proud I am of these boys and their coaches. Furthermore, I am equally proud of the parents of the Mudcats. During the championship game, I witnessed the parents encourage their players and show respect to the players of the team from Puerto Rico, show respect during calls from the umpires that they did not agree with, and engage in camaraderie with the team from Puerto Rico during the ceremonies after the championship game. In all, GREAT JOB MUDCATS! Finally, I want to express my appreciation to Director Dwayne Williams and his staff for their hard work to make the World Series and other AABC tournaments happen. Dwayne is, in my opinion, a youth association director that is a role model for all other associations. I am proud to call Dwayne, and many others at McDonough Youth Association, my friend. I say this because McDonough and North Henry have competed against each other for years, and will continue to do so in the future. McDonough and North Henry have a great working relationship and respect for each other. Thank you, Dwayne, for what you do for baseball in Henry County. May GOD bless those who play sports everywhere, and those who organize it |
