DOTHAN, Alabama -- They had battled hard since February, sharpening their skills, hoping for the coveted trip to their first-ever Junior Dixie Boys World Series appearance. The Center All-Stars came together, sweeping through the State Tournament at home, finishing it with an exclamation point with a no-hitter thrown by Colton McSwain.

DOTHAN, Alabama -- Needing a break in their morning game in the 2010 Junior Dixie Boys World Series here at the Miracle Field Complex on Monday morning, the Texas All-Stars saw things going their way after coming up flat on Sunday night and being tagged with their initial defeat of the double-elimination tournament.

DOTHAN, Alabama -- A rain delay of nearly one and one-half hours changed the tempo of this second-round Junior Dixie Boys World Series game between Texas' representative from Center and Florida. Within one out of closing out Florida in the top of the third, the long delay resulted in Texas coming out flat and Florida going on to capture a 5-2 victory.

DOTHAN, Alabama -- The Texas Junior Dixie boys shook off some early tournament jitters and received some timely hits and excellent pitching and defense when they needed it to record a 3-1 victory over North Carolina in the first round of the 2010 Junior Dixie Boys World Series here at Hardy Field at the Miracle Field Complex.

DOTHAN, Alabama -- For the fifth time in the history of Dothan, the city was selected to host a Dixie World Series event. The city has no doubt learned from experiences of past years and improved upon the pageantry of welcoming the nation's best.

For the Texas (Center) Junior Boys All-Stars, this is their first trip. And although they plan on having the time of their collective lives, they have come with one main mission: to win.

CENTER -- Steve Campbell loves baseball. Campbell's four sons love baseball. You might even say they almost live, sleep and eat baseball. He's even written a book on hitting.

And because he's always looking for ways to improve his sons' performances on the field, it's only natural that he'd come up with new ideas on how to do that.

The Center Junior Boys All-Stars have accomplished something no other team has done in Center history: advanced to the Dixie World Series Championships.

CENTER -- After six years of frustration, trials and tribulations, it was only fitting that on the final night of the inaugural season of a field named after one of the 'founding fathers' of Center Youth Baseball that the local 13-year old all-stars put together such a dominating performance.
