Josh Tobias to join Ray Ray in the Big “A”

Josh Tobias SS/P for the Southeast Guilford Falcons has been selected to join Ray Crawford from Dudley High School at the 2009 Under Armour Pre-season All-America Tournament coming up in January 2009 at Tucson, Arizona. Josh was first-team Mid-Piedmont 3-A All-Conference last spring for the SEG Falcons and he was selected to the American Legion All-Stars last summer while playing for the Eastern Randolph team. I had the chance to practice with Josh and his dad Andrew last summer on those hot days back in August and the hard work has paid off with the trip to Arizona.

Congrats to Josh and Ray Crawford and we’ll keep our eyes and ears open to see if Lay Lay(CF-Grimsley) can join Ray Ray and JJ(JT) and then we’ll have three Guilford County kids on that plane headed out to Arizona in January. Good job Ray and Josh, and keep those achievements rolling in to GSPN/GREENSOROSports.com

  1. what does it cost the player to attend this event, i heard it was around three thousand per player.

  2. If you played in one of their tournaments and did well the trip will only cost 700.00
    And why baseball fan would you like to pay the cost for these kids???????
    If so Im sure their parents will let you.
