ROCKDALE RHINOS 2010

Congratulations to the 2010 Rockdale Rhinos for a competitive and fun season! Perhaps we were the underdog from the beginning as the majority of 8U teams have been playing KP for a year or more. The Rockdale Rhinos debuted as a kid pitch team March 19th in the Atlanta Super NIT. 3 months later, the Rockdale Rhinos place 5th in the USSSA State Tournament.

We are very thankful to our sponsors for their financial support this season. We are grateful for our coaches for focusing on our team and the game. We are especially proud of 12 players for what they have accomplished this season. Looking forward to building on this season's successes!

We still have a couple of games left to post. Those will be coming soon.

SUB STATE, PEACHTREE CITY HIGHLIGHTS

The Rockdale Rhinos were able to secure a spot in the State Tournament for 8U KP by winning the Sub State Tournament in Peachtree City. Mrs. Marla gave them an incentive to win at the overnight days before.

Honestly, I forgot that she told the boys that we would get Coach Buz with a cooler of ice water, but they did not. The first one to ask about it was Saturday morning at our first game. By the championship game, Marla was running around trying to put together the little bit of ice and water that was left over in the park.

BERKLEY LAKE TIDES AND THE ROCKDALE RHINOS

The Rockdale Rhinos were invited out to Norcross HS to participate and watch the Berkley Lake Tides take on the Home Plate Chukars. The Tides won in extra innings over the Chukars. The kids had a fantastic time warming up with the Tides. Many thanks Karl Garcia, Head Coach of the Berkley Lake Tides for inviting the Rhinos out.

Eugene and Clayton accompany the starting 3rd baseman out as the players are being announced.

Thanks to the players of the Tides for taking the time with our 8 year old players.

PRE SUB-STATE CAMP OUT

Pre Sub-State, the Rockdale Rhinos got together for a camp out after practice. Interesting evening, to say the least!

The boys slept under a pavilion and the later it got, the cooler the air was. They started out like this, but ended up under blankets, sheets and towels.

The following morning, the boys got up early and headed to Stone Mountain.

Rockdale Rhinos conquer Stone Mountain!

After lunch at McD's, the team headed back to the pool for a couple of hours. Good fun and spirits leading into the Sub-State Tournament.
