Belmont Heights Little League
NBA Prospect Following In Family Footsteps
As the end of the regular 2015 Little League Baseball season comes to a close, the Tournament of Champions was set.
Progress Village Little League was the host and as in years past, Belmont Heights Little League entered to par- ticipate in the tournament.
Playing in the champi- onship games was the BHLL- Padres, sponsored by Temple Terrace Lodge #330 with manager Daryl Jones and Coach Daniel Reeves, beating the South Brandon 3- 0, winning the Major League division.
In a strange twist, BHLL entered two junior league teams in tournament play, BHLL Mets, sponsored by Attorney Nat Tindall with manager A. Green and BHLL Blue Jays sponsored by Wilson’s Funeral Home, with manager Joe Lewis and Coach Lester winning the first and second positions. The teams eventually had to play each other for the junior division champion. In the end, the BHLL Blue Jays beat the Mets to become the Jun- ior League 2015 TOC Cham- pions.

Another son, Jerami, was a second-round pick of the 76ers last June and turned in a better rookie sea- son than most first-rounders, playing good defense while being assigned to guard everyone from power for- wards to point guards.
