Three T.R. Miller athletes were recently named to the Alabama Sports Writers baseball and softball all-state teams for class 3A.
Hunter Brittain was the lone athlete to make the first-team list as he made all-state for class 3A baseball as a catcher.
Jones Manning made the second-team list as a designated hitter.
For softball, Myra Reiss made honorable mention as a first baseman.
Brittain said making the first team all-state for class 3A is a great ending to a great season, not just for himself, but also for his teammates.
“I couldn’t have done it without them or my coaches,” Brittain said. “I loved this team, and it pushed me to play my best day in and day out for them. I thank God everyday for him giving me the opportunity to play the game I love.”
Brittain and Jones helped led TRM’s baseball team to an area championship and the state playoffs. The team went 19-4 this season.
Brittain played in 22 games and had 58 at-bats for the Tigers. He scored five runs, had 25 hits, 35 RBIs, seven doubles, three triples, and three homeruns.
