GOOD LUCK to the Greensboro Green team in the Colt Baseball World Series……
Good Job guys. This should show Grimsley people that Coach A should not leave. He is a great coach. I am hoping that these guys win the Colt World Series. Good Luck Guys.
what does winning this tournament have to do with grimsley’s situation. will they have more players coming in because of this?
Seldom do you witness a TEAM effort such as the Green displayed this past week. Every player contributed. Great job by the coaching staff as well.
A fine effort turned in also in the East Zone tournament by Glen Clemmons. He put up some real good numbers and he deserves to get some credit. Good job and keep it up in Lafayette…..
I wondered how long it would take for the Alan bashing to start. Do you people have nothing better to do with your lives than sit around a computer and think of stupid things to say. What does Grimsley have to do with this great team and their accomplishments. NOTHING!! Support the team. Forget Alan and Grimsley.
Channel 14 news filmed the Greensboro All Stars leaving town today. It will be on the 5 o’clock news and every hour. Good luck to our players.
Glen Clemmons is playing for the Greensboro Colt All Stars in the World Series in Lafayette,Indiana…His sister, Natalie Clemmons is playing in the 16 u girls fastpitch softball World Series in Myrtle Beach..her GBC team is ranked #1 on the east coast of the US.. Greensboro Proehlific Power Palomino team is playing in the World Series in California. I think this is the first time in history this has happened. Everyone should be very proud of our Greensboro teams.
