Dadeville settles for 2nd best at state

Despite Dadeville’s loss in the championship game of the Dixie Youth Majors state tournament, 11- and 12-year-old All-Star coach Travis Etchison couldn’t help but gush about his team.

“We had an opportunity to make history in Dadeville with our first state championship, but them kids played their hearts out,” Etchison said. “We just couldn’t get that last hit that we needed, so I feel like I let the kids down, but on the upside, we had some phenomenal kids playing on this All-Star team.”
