2003 Blue-Grey Classic V - National Battle of the States I

2003 Blue-Grey Classic V - National Battle of the States I
Tampa Bay Devil Rays Spring Training Complex, St. Petersburg, FL, 7/25-27

Regional and/or state teams were to compete for the championship while playing in front of over 100 colleges and Pro-Scouts. Anyone have any feedback or reports from the 2003 National Battle of the States I? Listed below were the players on the Team Carolina roster. Also, anyone know where any of these Team Carolina players are from and if there were any other Charlotte area players that played on any of the other team rosters participating in this particular Blue-Grey Classic V event in FL?

Team Carolina Roster:
Ryan Pflum
Kyle Eudy
Billy Celtruda
Josh Chaney
Todd Eberhart
Jason Webb
Kris Ty Gwyn
Matt Armstrong
Jon Cook
Chris Zachodzki
Will Irwin
Shane Earnheart
Michael Bowman
Jason DelPrizzo
Gordon Harvey
Mario D’Adamo

Other teams competing were: Team Central Florida, Team Virginia, Team East Florida, Team New England, Team Miami, Team North Florida, Team Southwest Florida, Team West Florida, Team Tennessee/Kentucky, Team New York, Team Oklahoma, Team Pennyslvania, and Team Mid Atlantic.

 

Just curious...this is a 16-under team...right? Not the team that Coach 44 coaches?

 

Chief:

I was under the impression that the National Battle of the States I teams were made up of 16 & 17 year-old players (2004 & 2005) for the Blue-Grey Classic V event in FL but I could be mistaken. I believe that Coach 44 is a coach this year for Team North Carolina which is playing in the Blue-Grey Classic I event in Wake Forest, NC, scheduled for 8/13-15. Maybe Coach 44 will be on-line soon to confirm or not?!?
:huh:

 

:xyzthumbs...I'm sure you are right

 

Most of these players are listed on the Blue Grey site!
