Impressive Resume

I wanted to take a few minutes to brag on a very successful coach in my family, my uncle, Larry Knight. This past Sunday, he was the manager for the East team in the Aflac All-American high school all star game, which was played at PETCO park in San Diego and broadcast nationally in High Definition. When he's not coaching in all star games, he is the head coach at Sumrall high school in south Mississippi. He has compiled a very impressive resume at Sumrall, winning 3 straight state championships, including going undefeated in 2009 and only losing one game this past season. Sumrall also set the Mississippi state record for consecutive victories this past season. Larry also won 4 state championships while coaching at Hattiesburg high school. I may be a little biased, but I think he has to be considered among the best coaches in Mississippi baseball high school history. I also have to mention that Larry's son and my cousin, Austin, is also a really good catcher for Sumrall. They have a great chance to win another championship in 2011.
