Rogers plays with All-stars

Warren County High School baseball player Glenn Rogers recently participated in the Junior Sunbelt Classic, playing as a member of Team Tennessee in a tournament of all-star teams from around the country in McAlester, Hartshorne and Krebs, Okla.

Rogers, who will be a senior next season, started in center field in the team’s first game, against Georgia. He caught the first fly ball off Tennessee’s first pitch to record the team’s first out of the tournament.

Usually a right fielder, Rogers — the son of Ricky and Marsha Rogers — played mostly in center field with the all-star squad, and spent one game in left field.

Team Tennessee finished seventh in the tournament, coming away with a 4-6 record. They played against teams from Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Missouri, California, Arizona, two teams from Oklahoma, and Team Ontario from Canada.

Team Tennessee defeated the Texas squad that went on to an eventual second-place finish in the tournament. Rogers got the job done in the team’s final contest, going 2-for-3 with a single and a double against Missouri.

The highlight of the tournament was the Sunbelt Classic Banquet, where the keynote speaker was former L.A. Dodger standout Steve Garvey.
