FULL STORY / STATE CHAMPS

White County alum (class of 2014) Spencer Adams threw 15 straight scoreless innings (earned runs) over his last two starts for the Birmingham Barons (MiLB White Sox AA affiliate), walking only two and giving up eight hits while striking out 12. See what this means for his next promotion and when his estimated time of arrival is in the BIG SHOW! FULL STORY

Why is the Dawson County community thrilled to have one of its young alumni back? It's not just that Will Anglin was a two-sport standout, but his character and drive have the Tigers excited for his return to his old stomping grounds.
