Strong junior year helps Ingram secure spot on all-star roster

Tallassee’s Jacob Abbott Ingram did not get a lot of action prior to his junior baseball season and the dream of being named to an AHSAA all-star game may have looked like a long shot. Those chances seemed to decrease even more with a shortened season but Ingram made the most of his limited time on the mound and he turned enough heads to earn a spot on the South squad of the annual AHSAA North-South All-Star week.

“I was a little surprised but I was really honored,” Ingram said. “Those kids are really good baseball players so it was an honor to be named with those guys. I’ve been working for a while to be one of those top guys and now that I’m here, it’s a big achievement.”
