Congratulations to our first District Champs!!

It was a great Spring season that ended with a tremendous finish by our 2012 Major All Stars.  They put on a quite a show with some of the most exciting games I have experienced.

They won the Little League Northeast Florida District 11 tournament by defeating the Highlands in a 4 hour game with FILL winning with a walk off hit in the 6th.

Congratulations to our District Winners!!

Big League Dreams and Clay County

The Clay County Development Board has entered into an agreement with Big League Dreams to look at sites to build a complex on Fleming Island.  Several sites are being considered.  It may not go where the complex was initially plotted.

You can learn about Big League Dreams at their website: http://www.bigleaguedreams.com/

Clay County Dev Board consists of business and government members looking to improve economic environment in Clay County.  http://www.claydevelopmentauthority.com/

The complex will require 20-25 acres and will be managed by BLD.  The complex will also bring 80 jobs to the area.

Funding remains an obstacle of course, but the fact that CCDB are behind it and have signed an agreement bodes well for getting some momentum behind the project.

I will post more information as I learn more.
