Four RHS varsity baseball players make Alabama Coaches All-Star Team

Four local Russellville High School Baseball students were chosen by the coaches for the Alabama All Star Team: Landin Ezell, Reed Smith, Chad Wray and Judd Ward.
The Alabama Coaches Association held showcase tryout camps at UNA May 18 and at Lawson State June 1. Scouts from more than 40 colleges, universities and professional teams braved the near 100-degree temps for a sneak peak at some of the best baseball players in the state of Alabama.
The Alabama Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Event will be held in Troy for the 10th consecutive season, and along with it come 120 of the state’s best rising sophomores, juniors and seniors. The event, coordinated by AlaBCA President Barry Dean, is the second of three legs needed to earn a coveted spot on Team Alabama for games against all-stars from Georgia and Tennessee.
These four chosen Russellville student athletes will participate in games in Troy at Riddle Field, June 16-18, as team members on the Alabama All Star Team.
