The Wolves finished second in the Talladega County Baseball Tournament to start the season and ended it with a run to the semifinals of the Alabama High School Athletic Association’s Class 1A State Playoffs. So it should come as no surprise that the Wolves are also well represented on the 1A-3A All-Talladega County Baseball Team.
Eight players from the Fayetteville team made the all-county list and head coach Morris Phillips was named Coach of the Year. Junior left-handed pitcher Jeremy Melton led the Wolves in hitting all season. He recorded seven homeruns, 41 RBIs and batted .438. On the mound Melton had six wins and five losses in 13 appearances. He struck out 84 batters and posted a 2.06 ERA.
Melton’s teammate Matt Williams was also a star on the hill for the Wolves. The senior struck out 83 batters while recording a record of 5-2-1. Sophomore Justin Ricks, junior Brett Autrey and sophomore Jared Williamson were strong in the field and at the plate this season. Ricks batted .392 while hitting three home runs and recording 37 RBIs. Autrey scored 20 runs, had 29 RBIs and batted .394. Williamson had a batting average of .353 and had 25 RBIs and 33 runs scored this season.
Also making the list from Fayetteville was Dalton Vick, Zach McGrady and Andrew Scott.
The B.B. Comer Tigers fell short of their goal of making the playoffs this season, but several players stood out above the rest. Seniors Kameron Mizzell and Drew Sims along with junior Taylor Bryant represented Comer on the All-County team. Mizzell batted .608 this season and had four home runs and 46 RBIs. Sims batted .422 and batted in 22 runs. He also had 22 stolen bases. Both players signed to play baseball for Talladega College.
Bryant ended the season with a .389 batting average and 38 RBIs.
Jay Vincent represented Winterboro on the all-county team while TC Central’s Cameron Duncan, Kendarius Swain and Randall Jones rounded out the list.
