| What is the Wheels Baseball Tournament?
|
| The Wheels Baseball Tournament is an
invitational tournament put on by friends
of Larry "Wheels" Hinson in honor of his memory and friendship. Teams from all over the east
coast come to battle along side some of South Carolina's finest
baseball teams. The proceeds of this three day
long tournament are split into three scholarships that are given
to three local outstanding senior baseball players. These three
individuals must not only show great pride in the game of
baseball, but also demonstrate intelligence in the classroom and involvement
throughout the community. The
Tournament is put on each year in loving memory of Larry
"Wheels" Hinson" who passed away November 27, 2004. |
