Riley got a second place trophy for his birthday, but everyone else enjoyed the brownies that Riley's mother brought.

Tryouts for the Fall 2008 12U Collins Hill Eagles Green Travel Baseball Team, as well as the Collins Hill Eagles Black Travel Baseball Team, will be held on Thursday, July 10, 2008, from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m., and on Saturday, July 12, 2008, from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Both of these tryouts will be held on Field # 1 at Collins Hill Park.  Players only have to attend one of these tryout sessions in order to be considered for selection.  There will not be a tryout fee.  The team(s) will be announced by Tuesday, July 15, so that the players selected can pay their on-line park registration fee ($115) by July 18 to avoid late fees.  All eligible players are encouraged to tryout as we are shooting to have enough players to field two teams – the 12U Eagles Green Team managed by Rusty McCain (rmccain@amolawfirm.com or rdmccain@bellsouth.net) and 12U Eagles Black Team managed by Rich Rhoads (ARR2224@aol.com).  Please send Rusty an e-mail at rmccain@amolawfirm.com or rdmccain@bellsouth.net if you plan to try out.  Also, if you are interested in playing and cannot attend one of the above-listed try out sessions, please let Rusty know so that another tryout time can be arranged.

 Please consult the Fall 2008 Season plan for details.
