Coaches with Archdale Parks and Recreation’s Mustang League voted on the league’s all-star players, who set a goal — get to Texas.

To select the all-stars, coaches reviewed team statistics, player batting averages, positions, practice work habits and attitudes. The top eight vote getters were elected to the team and the championship winning coach. Reds’ coach Brian Marshall selected the additional four players.

Marshall was praised as a dedicated community volunteer who doesn’t even have a kid playing in this age bracket. Marshall’s staff includes veteran assistant coach Eric Krpejs, whose team tied for the regular season championship, Jimmy Blair and Dale Proctor.

The team’s first rounds will be played at Creekside Park the week of July 12. As of Friday, the start date had not been determined.

The winning team will advance to Virginia Beach, Va. then to Pittsburgh, Penn., and on to Texas for the national championship.

Members of the Mustang League all-stars include Tristan Eppley, Josh Blair, Ryan Johnson and Garrett Allen, members of the Reds; Zach Krpejs, Tyler Swiggett, Cole McCrary and Colyn Grissom, from the Phillies; Landon Smith of the Rockies; Tanner McGee from the Cubs; Monroe Presnell from the Pirates; Chase Nicks from the Braves; and Koty Proctor from the Mets.

If you happen to ride by Creekside Park on a weeknight, it’s late and the lights are still on, the team is working hard and trying to do two things — practice at a cooler time of the day and “GET TO TEXAS.”

If the warm-up tournament win (23-8) at Level Cross is any indication, the Mustang League all-stars are on their way.
