Experience playing together matters.
At least, the Dothan National, Dothan American and Taylor/Rehobeth all-stars are counting on that factor as they compete in this week’s state Dixie Youth Boys Division I Ozone 12U State Tournament at the G. Marvin Lewis Youth Sports Complex inside Westgate Park.

At 3 p.m., the area’s third team, Taylor/Rehobeth, plays Municipal on Field 1 and Auburn Blue meets Greenville on Field 3. The opening day concludes with a 5 p.m. game, pitting AUM versus Troy.
“Anytime we can get state tournaments or the World Series in Dothan for the facilities we have got, it is great. It will be a great economic impact on Dothan because of the hotel rooms used, the restaurants and gas. All that is a big thing for the city.” “I am hoping consistency will be a strength of ours,” Bass said. “We stress defense. We think we can hit the ball pretty well, but we also have to be patient during the games. These are young kids and it’s easy to let emotion go high or low, so we will be stressing patience to the kids. I think if we can be patient, the hits will come.”
