Topher has been given the opportunity to play with the Walker County 9 year old All Star team this summer. I know what you are thinking, Topher is 10, and you are right, but to Dizzy Dean he is a 9 year old, BY 5 DAYS!! So this is pretty cool for him, and for us, although after playing/sitting through two days of over 100 degree weather, the better classification would be HOT!!
During the regular season, Topher usually played pitcher or short stop, with some occasional outfield time and he caught maybe two games. Well, he has been playing catcher for his ALL STAR team. He is pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. Of course, it probably comes natural, as his Daddy was a catcher in his younger years. Topher has gotten pretty good at getting dirty behind the plate, blocking the ball, and throwing down to second. His team won their area tournament, and are currently playing in the state tournament in Albertville, where it has been HOT and DRY!!!
The team is in the losers bracket at this time. We got there by loosing to a team we beat twice already!!! I was so sad for our team when they lost. They were winning 6-1 in the last inning. They should of won, could have won, would have won. Yes, shoulda, coulda, woulda gets you in the losers bracket!!! But they are battling. They are in the top four teams in the state at this time. Tomorrow will tell the tale of whether or not we get another chance at the championship!! Will let you know : )
