Locals to be featured at annual showcase

Getting one player’s name on the invite list to the annual Alabama Baseball Coaches Association showcase in Troy is a big deal in itself but teams across Elmore County saw that accomplishment come in waves over the last week as the invitations started racking up. Wetumpka, Stanhope Elmore and Elmore County will each have multiple players representing their schools at the showcase next week with six players from Wetumpka leading the way.

“I was a little surprised, especially with the selection process being everyone in the state,” Wetumpka coach Michael Dismukes said. “Having six is shocking but they deserve it. They were all excited. They don’t see this as an individual thing so they are ready to get going together.”
