May

The 12U DHYS Bombers will begin their 2009 Summer season Memorial Day weekend, participating in the USSSA NIT Southeastern Wood Bat Championship in Cumming, Georgia. Some of the teams we will face will be the East Cobb Astros, the NYO Titans and the Sevier County Bears. It should be an early test of this talented Bomber Squad. Following the Wood Bat Tournament, the Bombers play in Ellenwood, Georgia in a USSSA Substate Tournament. This is a USSSA State qualifying tournament and will be our entré into the USSSA State Finals in late June.

June
The month of June starts off with one of our favorites -- The Larry Hutson Invitational at Shaw Park. This Dizzy Dean event (starting June 4th) offers a good mix of teams, a familiar setting and, as Coach Eric always mentions, the best darn concession stand in Cobb County! After Shaw Park, we head to Woodstock for the Showdown @ Hobgood. This is a Pre-District All Star event to hopefully get us ready for the Dizzy Dean District Tournament. That starts June 10th at Chastain Park. (there might be concession stand challenge brewing here.) After Chastain, if we have qualified, we will enter the USSSA State Championships in Cumming on June 26th.

July
The month of July will be less hectic, but very memorable none the less. If we do well in the Dizzy Dean Districts, we will play for the DD State Championship in Ringgold, Georgia. After that, we have an open week that could be used for more fundraising, another quick tournament, some scrimmages, or just relaxation. The next week (July 17-24) is the Cooperstown trip and the Bombers will need some time to pack and make last minute arrangements. This will cap off a great Summer Season for all!

Go Bombers! Hit Hard and Often!
