15U DIVISION – 2015 ALABAMA STATE TOURNAMENT
Eufaula will serve as the Alabama tournament host for the 2015 state event of the 15U
Division. The event will be held June 3-7 at Old Creek Town Park & Eufaula High School
Baseball facilities. The tournament will start Wednesday, June 3rd.
Eufaula, Alabama settled high upon a bluff overlooking the beautiful 45,000-acre Lake
Eufaula, is located in southeastern Alabama along the Alabama-Georgia border,
approximately 90 miles southeast of Montgomery, the state capital. Southern charm is a
trait that comes naturally in Eufaula and Barbour County. The community holds the
power to allure and delight, not only tourists, but inhabitants as well. With a choice of
restaurants to suit everyone, a variety of places to stay, and an abundance of recreational
activities, you'll enjoy your time in Eufaula and you'll want to come back, again & again.
The event in 2014 was originally slated to have eight participating teams. Overall interest
in the tournament led organizers to expand the tournament field from eight to twelve
teams. As a result, the tournament included teams from throughout Alabama. In order
to accommodate all of the teams a schedule was created that allowed each team to
participate in two games. Four separate playing pools were also formed with the format
allowing the winner of each pool to advance to the semi-finals on Sunday. These pool
winners competed for the opportunity to be crowned as Alabama 15U State Champions.
Enterprise won the state championship with the team from Muscle Shoals ending as the
runner-up. The two teams earned a berth in the 2014 REGION ONE 15U tournament
(eight teams) at Eagle Stadium in Ozark, Alabama. The team from Enterprise also won
the regional event held in Ozark. The 2015 regional event will again be held in Ozark,
Alabama. More details about these upcoming events will be released by May 1st, 2015.
