"It has never been done before.” “Everyone else has failed to pull it off.” “It’s impossible.”
Ever heard these before in your quest do the undoable? I’m sure Palm Coast’s 10U All-Stars have been told a couple of these things, until they became the firsts in the program’s history to win the District 19 Championship on Monday, June 27, at Indian Trails Sports Complex.
“These kids all bought in from day one with the goal of becoming the first 10U team to win our district,” coach Jason Roberts said. “The last two games here in town felt like a minor league game. Everybody came out to give these boys support, and I couldn't be more proud of this team and our community.”
When it comes to being a trailblazer, two people stand before the fork in the road. The person on the right says, “I will go along with the others. It has been proven that this goal can’t be done. And, when I fail to accomplish it, no one will look at me differently; instead, they will compliment me for simply trying.”
But the one on the left will think, “I am none of those who tried before me. There are different circumstances, different people involved, so this task isn’t an impossibility. It just hasn’t been attempted by the right person, or people.” Then, that person rises to the occasion and becomes the first ever to pull off what seemed to be impossible.
When it comes to the PCLL All-Stars, they had help achieving their feat. As before mentioned, the community packed out the bleachers and surrounded the ball park in support. And, for the past years, they have seen team after team become the first to win district titles, and they have last year’s 12U team as a standard to look up to. They earned a berth to the Little League State Tournament, after winning PCLL’s first sectional championship.
It’s their turn to go on a historic run.
