Great weekend for the Midwest Prospects (Campa-Watkins) in the Roger Gillispie Ring of Honor Tournament held in Newton, KS with a 2nd place finish. 

The coaching staff of Brian Watkins, Tim Hein, and Hank Walton, shared a summary with me and I wanted to pass it along:

The Roger Gillespie Tournament was about much more than numbers on a stat sheet. It was a glimpse into the growth, effort, and character of this Midwest Prospects 12U team over six games. The team competed hard, finishing with a 4–2 record while scoring 48 runs and demonstrating an aggressive style of play with 29 stolen bases and a .321 team batting average.
What stands out most is how contributions came from throughout the lineup. Jaxson Shantz led the offense with a remarkable .533 batting average, 10 RBIs, and 7 runs scored, consistently delivering in key moments. Sean Lager hit .500 and drove in 8 runs, while Callen Douglas reached base at an outstanding .692 clip and scored 8 runs. Maddox Koehn added another .455 average and 8 RBIs, showing that success was built on teamwork rather than relying on a single player.
The tournament also highlighted grit and resilience. Players battled through tough at-bats, worked counts, and found ways to get on base. Defensively, while there were challenges and learning moments, the team recorded five double plays and many players contributed across multiple positions, reflecting versatility and a willingness to do whatever the team needed.
Perhaps the most meaningful takeaway is that youth baseball tournaments are ultimately about development. The statistics show players gaining confidence, taking extra bases, competing on the mound, and supporting one another. Wins and losses matter, but the memories made between teammates, the excitement of big hits, the pressure-filled innings, and the shared celebration after hard-fought victories are what endure long after the tournament ends.

I want to give a BIG shoutout to all of the Midwest Prospects coaches for your time, commitment, and dedication to our organization. Without each of you, none of this would be possible. I truly appreciate the countless hours you invest in developing our players, teaching the game the right way, and helping make this organization successful. Your passion and leadership do not go unnoticed.

To all of our parents, thank you for your continued support and commitment throughout the season. From getting your sons to practices and games to cheering them on every step of the way, your support has been a tremendous blessing. We appreciate everything you do for these young athletes and for our organization.

As we head into the HAP Dumont State Tournament, our season finale, I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead. I’m looking forward to watching both Midwest Prospects teams make a big statement and compete at a high level.

Thank you again to our coaches, players, and families for an incredible season.

⚾️💙

As we close out the season, it was a fun night under the lights watching both of our Midwest Prospects teams share the field together.

Been a fun season watching these boys support each other and make each other better.

Here’s to one last ride this weekend in the final tourney!🖤🩵🤍⚾️
