The Dixie Youth All-Stars used four solid wins to roll through the district tournament in New Brockton and secure their spot in the state tournament.

The team combined solid offense with strong pitching to claim the district title.

&uot;It was wonderful,&uot; said Coach Keith Taylor. &uot;Both the players and their parents have done everything we’ve asked with no bickering and no fussing, and that’s why we’re playing like we are.&uot;

&uot;We have a motto - ‘We don’t care who gets the credit, just as long as the headline says Greenville wins,’&uot; Taylor said.

The team will travel to Tuscaloosa for the state tournament and play their first game on Saturday the 21st against the winner of District 2.

&uot;We’re going to start practicing on Monday,&uot; Taylor said.
