Josh Tobias(Southeast Guilford HS) and his family are leaving Greensboro today(Thursday), for San Diego, California, site of Sunday night’s Aflac All-American Baseball Game…..(Sunday August 15)
Josh, a rising senior at SEG High School, played shortstop this past season for Coach David Beasley and assistant Charlie Gamble IV and Josh traveled to the Perfect Game Camp, at St. Petersburg, Florida and he was on the squad of the Virginia Hurricanes, at the World Wood Bat Championships, at East Cobb, Georgia, back in July….
The Aflac All-American Game is the big one, the one that a kid dreams of….The game will be held at the San Diego Padres’ Petco Park and it will be televised on Sunday night, LIVE at 8pm, on the FOX Sports Network, which comes in on Channel 51, on our local TWC system…..
Good luck to Josh, his dad Andrew and the Tobais family and we hope they have fun, at the game, in San Diego, California…….
Good luck Josh! ENJOY the trip and bring me back some of that SoCal weather!!
71 today, 71 tomorrow, 71 Saturday and 71 Sunday! That will feel so good after yesterday!
I played lacrosse at SE, and graduated Josh’s freshman year. When he was still in middle school, he and his dad would be on the football field and track training while we trained as well. Even at 13 or 14 years old, the dude was a beast. His older brother Drew was a fantastic lacrosse player, and was a 4 year starter at Presbyterian University. Good luck Tobias!
