The Huron Valley 13U Rebels baseball team is coached by John Hawes, who has seven years of experience and also coaches at the high school level. The 13U team had a 2011 record of 31-11-2 and will compete in five to seven tournaments in 2012. One or two of those likely will require overnight travel. Hawes said he prefers that players come from the HVYBSL or from Huron Valley Schools.
Tryouts will be held on Sunday, July 31 at 6:30 p.m. at the Milford High School JV field. Additional tryouts will be scheduled at a later date. To preregister for those future dates, email playpepper@comcast.net.
