As Lamar eighth-grade student Justin Williams said, going to Puerto Rico to play baseball is a once in a lifetime opportunity."We get to represent the United States," Williams said. "It's our shot. You don't know if you'll get another chance, because you might not get picked again."Williams, 14, and Lamar seventh-grader Danny Hernandez, 13, will be teammates and traveling buddies next month as they take part in the Easter Friendship Baseball Series Tour as members of the Coast to Coast Amateur Baseball Stars. They'll play against other kids ages 11 to 15.The organization is a national baseball and youth development program based in Marietta, Ohio. It has led delegations of players to Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia and Hawaii, providing them with instruction, competition, opportunity, exposure, and, as Hernandez states, education."It will be amazing playing people from different countries, seeing what they're like," he said.Both youngsters qualified for the Coast to Coast team during an October tryout at Temple College. They were among a group of several hundred players who tried out nationally. They obviously impressed during their tryouts, which tested their all-around skills."It took hard work to get selected," Hernandez said. "Your bat speed had to be quick and you had to run the bases quickly."Added Williams: "You've gotta have the speed." By Nick Taylor
