Congrats to Wyatt Owens and Hudson Twist for being selected to the All Tournament Team in the Southern Sports Salute to 42 on April 18,19. Great job boys!

That's a wrap on another season. It didn't end with a ring but what these boys gained was worth so much more.
Over the past several months, we've watched them grow—not just as ball players, but as teammates, friends, and young men. We've seen them battle through some tough losses, celebrate some big wins, pick each other up, and create friendships that will last long after the score is forgotten.
As parents, we've spent countless hours together at the ballpark, living on concession stand food, folding chairs, sunscreen, and alllll the caffeine. We've cheered together, stressed together, and celebrated every success right alongside these boys. Somewhere along the way, this team became more than just a team🩷
To our coaching staff, Bryan Owens, Ben Reed, Jake Hall and Steven Tinney, thank you will never feel like enough. Thank you for your time, for your patience, your dedication, and for believing in these boys even when they didn't believe in themselves. The lessons yall have taught will extend well beyond the ball field.
And to our head coach, Bryan Owens, thank you for everything. As you close this chapter as head coach, please know the impact you've made on these boys. You've helped shape them not just into better athletes but into better people. Your leadership, guidance, and countless sacrifices means the world to these boys and all of our families.
To our boys, hold your heads high. We are proud of every single one of you. Thank you for giving us a season full of memories we'll never forget🇺🇸⚾

The boys of Valor American doing a little "bleach bonding" in preparation for their destination tournament next week!

These boys have really come together over the past few weeks and continue to give it everything they’ve got every time they step on the field. Just two weeks ago they were one game shy of bringing home the championship, and this weekend they came out swinging again.
Yesterday, the boys absolutely demolished the competition on opening day, highlighted by Hudson crushing a 3-run homer! Today they battled hard once again, and Bennett hit his FIRST EVER home run — with all his boys waiting at home plate to celebrate and welcome him home. Moments like that are what baseball is all about.
They couldn’t quite seal the deal today, but this team keeps showing heart, growth, resilience, and what it means to play for each other. Proud of this group and excited to keep watching them grow together and support one another ⚾️🇺🇸

3–1 on the weekend with one tough loss to finish it out—but this group showed exactly what matters most. 💪⚾️
They earned those wins through hard work, grit, and teamwork. And what stood out even more was the energy these boys brought every single game! The dugout stayed loud and the attitudes stayed positive.
We could not be more proud of the effort and enthusiasm they played with.
Back to work this week—because this group is just getting started. 🇺🇲⚾️
**The boys were led by their team captains Brody Smith and Bennett Bishop this weekend!!**

The boys of Valor Baseball Academy 11U had the honor of being Team of the Night at the Gwinnett Stripers game. Friends and family joined in on the fun and the Stripers walked away with a win!⚾️🇺🇸

Congrats to Bennett, Easton, Grant, and Luke on making the All Tournament Team March 21-22 in the PG Hitter’s Classic!

Well, this wasn't the weekend we were hoping for. We had some solid innings but couldn't quite put it all together and came up short in the win column. The good news- there were some great plays, big swings and teammates who picked each other up when they needed it most. Baseball has a lot of ups and downs, and sometimes you learn more from the tough games than the easy ones. But if these boys keep showing up and working hard I know we'll get the next one⚾️🇺🇸⚾️🇺🇸
