Lakepoint Sports Interview “Swing School”
5 Star Midsouth 2024 National – Music City East Cobb Summer Slam Champions
Congratulations to our 5 Star Midsouth 2024 National team on winning the Music City East Cobb Summer Slam. One of the most underrated events of the summer, this event, crawled with strong teams in every pool. To describe how tough this pool was 3 out of the 4 games that the 2024s won were by 1 run. In total out of the 6 games on the weekend, 5 of them were decided by only 1 run. Here is how the scores went:
Game 1 – Complete Game 15U National (0) vs 5 Star Midsouth 2024 National (10)
Game 2 – 5 Star Midsouth 2024 National (3) vs East Cobb 615 (2)
Game 3 – 5 Star Midsouth 2024 National (2) vs Mad Mavericks Matthews (1)
Game 4 – East Cobb Astros 16U (2) vs 5 Star Midsouth 2024 National (3)
Game 5 – 5 Star Midsouth 2024 National (3) vs East Cobb 15U/16U Texas Orange (2)
Game 6 – Mad Mavericks Dickey (1) vs 5 Star Midsouth 2024 National (2)
Pitching & defense was the story this weekend. Pitchers combined for a 1.02 ERA to go along with 39 Ks to 17 BBs. Defensively the boys carried a .950 fielding percentage over the weekend. The fellas get a much-deserved week off before heading up to Knoxville to play in the PG Knoxville Invitational. They carry a 12-1-1 record.

Team Outlook: 2024 National
Two words, High Expectations… The 2024 National group believes in placing high expectations for each other. The common saying is “high achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.” If you believe it and apply it, you can achieve just about anything. I think that’s what makes this group so intriguing to watch this upcoming summer. It’s a group that wants to become the best version of themselves collectively but understands that they don’t have to overdo it. They are going to stay the course, and do what they do well, and that’s just playing baseball. They will have high expectations, but it’s almost a given. We are intrigued and excited to watch it all come together. Leading the 2024 National group once again is Coach Curtis Hoppe, who enters his 3rd year with this group. The team features 1 college commit with several more on the way after the successful spring campaigns these young men have had. Depth on the mound is going to be their biggest strength this summer. Circle the name, because they are going to be a fun watch. Here’s the breakdown of the roster & schedule:
Pitchers:
Judson Bjornstad (Franklin Road Christian) – RHP
Joseph Morera (Blackman H.S.) – RHP

New Team…New Look… This 2023 squad builds off the competitive summer run they had last season, into this 2022 summer season. This year’s squad is led by Coach Ryan Hill, who enters his 4th year with us. Last year when we featured this group we mentioned words like “hard-nosed, scrappy, etc.” Blend that in with more athleticism, and a blend of arms, and we create a successful recipe for the group. If any college coaches are looking for guys with grit, and high-academic student-athletes, look no further than this team. Here’s the breakdown of the roster & schedule.

Team Outlook: 2023 National
Talk about the will to win… This group was one of the most talented groups we have had in our program, and it showed when they finished their strong summer season with a record 29-9-3. They were also ranked #67 nationally & 18th regionally according to Perfect Game. Leading the 2023 National groups once again is Coach Josh Taylor, who enters his 3rd year with this group. The team features 2 College Commits with several more on the way after the successful spring campaigns these young men have had. The unique part with this is this group has gotten even stronger with the new additions on the mound, and at the plate. Let’s just say in other words, we suggest you circle this group as a team to follow all summer long. Here’s the breakdown of the roster & schedule.
