Head coach David Kim’s suspicions that he had a very good team this year proved correct, as his Gardendale Maroon 9-and-under All-Stars won the Dizzy Dean World Series title in Southaven, Mississippi.

The Rockets took out teams from Georgia, Mississippi and Florida on their way to the championship. They finished with a 21-5 season record.

Team members include Daniel Bradley, Kameron Burkett, Cole Fuller Combs, Carson Kim, Cam Lecroy, Coleman Murrell, Will Nesmith, Grayson Sidoti, J.T. Weisberg, Connor Williams and Owen Williams.

The team’s coaches are Kim, Keith Bradley, Mark Williams, Phillip Lecroy and Jan Weisberg.
