Bolivar 8U Brings Home Some Hardware

The Bolivar 8U Dizzy Dean All-Stars fell 16-7 to Germantown in the championship game, finishing second in their first tournament as a team in the Horn Lake All-Star Classic in Horn Lake, Mississippi.
Three victories for the 8U team were sandwiched by two losses to the Germantown team. Bolivar began the pool play portion of the tournament with a 16-15 loss to Germantown, but followed it with wins over Horn Lake Thunder (21-6), Germantown 7U (15-0), and Hernando (14-11).
“We made a few defensive mistakes in the game,” said Head Coach Russ Kelly after the final game. “But we did well and I’m proud of the effort we made.”
The 8U team will get another chance against Germantown July 8-9 as the two teams face off in a three game series to determine the Tennessee State Dizzy Dean 8U Champions.
