CENTER, Tx -- After dropping a double-digit decision to Center in the second round of the Dixie Youth 9-10 YO AAA District 2B Tournament on Saturday, the Shelbyville All-Stars had some 'soul searching' to do. The squad then responded with a pair of huge victories, including some 'payback' to Center before falling in the title game of the tourney on Monday.

Shelbyville posted a 3-2 record in the four-day affair, executing some exciting moments before falling 15-0 in the finale to undefeated Tyler County.

CENTER, Tx -- The Shelbyville Dragon 9-10 year-old all-stars almost let their first-round contest against Pineland get away from them Friday night in the first round of the Dixie Youth 9-10 AAA District 2B Tournament. But some late-inning heroics resulted in an 11-10 victory in the double-elimination tourney.

There was a large amount of parity in the District 21-1A baseball race this year and the voting for the all-league performers was spread throughout the district as well. Shelbyville senior Brad Estes was named the league's Most Valuable Player, while three Alto players, along with Garrison's Dustin Strahan, paced the superlative awards which were voted on and released by the district's coaches.
