One Sunday afternoon two months ago, two men met with me separately to express a desire to coach an Atlanta Select team. To their and my surprise, these two men knew each other, were old friends and had coached baseball with their sons before. They agreed to work together and the SYNERGY they produced has resulted in their team, "The Atlanta Select 14u Boys Team Black" being selected as the Team of the Week, ending May 2.
These young student athletes came together quickly and jelled as a team and in their second tournament finished as "Runner up" in the YBOA 14u 8th Annual "TBA" Classic. These 12 young men representing 10 different schools are displaying what SYNERGY is all about. The players are DeAndre Mack= Wesleyan, Eric Ward = Date Middle, Bakari Copeland = Stephenson, Jalaan Moore = Shiloh, Chaston Talley = Heritage, Khalid Abdullah-Daniels = New Timbuck Academy, Colby Trusclair = Miller Grove, N"Kotei" Junior Ne'equaye = Henderson, Marcus Alford = Champion and Jontavious Johnson, Quintin Walker, Jonathan Perkins from Greenforest Christian Academy.
The coaches are Owens Walker, James Moore and Aazim R. Abdullah.
Go SELECT!
