Claiborne Aces crowned champions, finish perfect season with Springhill Tournament victory

The Claiborne Aces capped off a remarkable season in dominant fashion, winning the Springhill Tournament to complete an undefeated run. The 9–10-year-old baseball team, composed of student-athletes from Claiborne Academy, ended their second year of competition with a flawless record and a championship trophy to show for it.

The team, made up primarily of 10-year-olds who played together as 9-year-olds last season, built on last year’s strong showing—where they secured second place in the season-ending tournament—to achieve perfection this year. Driven by determination and team spirit, the Aces steamrolled through regular season play and continued their momentum into the postseason.

Facing fierce competition from across the region, the Aces remained unfazed. Their hard work and preparation were evident as they overcame every challenge with confidence and cohesion, ultimately taking the title in commanding fashion.

“This team has worked so hard all season,” said a coach. “Every single player stepped up when it mattered most. It was a true team effort.”

The undefeated Aces roster includes Lane Hightower, Caimen Varnell, Ezra Teutsch, Rhett Ware, Owen Tanner, Jace Tanner, Braxton Ramsey, Luke Holloway, Tyler Goodson, Jeremiah Long, Brody Wyman, and Scott Cryer.

With an unblemished season and a championship title now under their belts, the future looks bright for this talented group of young athletes.
