EAST LAKELAND — Sebring was looking for that late-game magic once again, but all they received was a sobering wake-up call in the opening round of the Dixie Youth Majors (ages 11-12) "O" Zone state tournament in East Lakeland on Saturday. The West Seminole National squad scored six unanswered runs to rally from a two-run deficit and Sebring's own come-from--behind bid fell short in the 9-7 loss. "We can't always go into the sixth inning trying to win the game," said Sebring head coach Charlie White to his team after the game. "What we did in Lake Placid, we might never do that again."

"I still can't believe I hit it out," said Little during a recent practice. "But I hope that isn't the last one I ever hit." The Sebring players have been dodging the weather and picking up practice time when they can in preparation for the Dixie Youth Majors (ages 11-12) "O" Zone state tournament, which begins today in East Lakeland. Sebring head coach Charlie White chuckled when asked about Little's feat and if his team can ride that crest of momentum into the tournament. ...more
