The Russell County 15 & under baseball team became the East KY State Champions this past weekend in Lexington, KY and are now off to Eau Claire, Wisconsin for the Ohio Valley Super Regional next week!
Some team members & coaches were guests on the WAVE Morning Show this morning to discuss fundraisers and their trip to Wisconsin......
A couple of fundraisers are being held to help support this group of young men. On Thursday, July 18, 2019 from 10am-2pm, there will be a Taco Lunch at the Community Center on Main Street in Russell Springs. On Saturday, July 20, 2019 from 9am-2pm, they will have a Car Wash at the new FiveStar Food Mart near the Cumberland Parkway. Money donated will be used to help pay for the expense of rooms and travel for the team to the Ohio Valley Super Regional in Eau Claire Wisconsin starting July 25th 2019.
If you aren't able to participate in the fundraisers but still want to make a donation, here's a link to the team's GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/2019-russell-co-15u-babe-ruth-state-champions?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&rcid=f52fc96767c1495aa7b069e71639bcad
