The Oak Ridge All-Stars gave Kingston all they wanted and then some in the Dixie Youth AA sub-district tournament, but in the end the Jackets survived and picked up the tournament championship with a winner-take-all 15-12 victory in extra innings.

Wednesday’s title game was actually the second nail-biter of the day played between the two teams and third in three days.

The first three days of play would be good ones for the Kingston AAA All-Stars as the Jackets are undefeated and close to securing a berth in the Dixie Youth District 8 Tournament that starts Friday in Rockwood.

The 2008 Coalfield basketball camp hit the road this year. With construction and work being done at Coalfield School, camp director Carmen Hines had to change the game plan and was able to move the camp to Petros-Joyner School.

"We had to move it out to P.J., so we were dealing with some smaller circumstances as far as room and stuff. I'm thankful to all of them down at Petros-Joyner. Mr. Treece and Miss Julie really helped me out a lot so I could pull it off and have camp there," said Hines.

There was more than one way to pick up a victory Friday night in the opening round of the Dixie Youth sub-district AA tournament at Rockwood.

For Kingston, it was all about defense as the Jackets allowed just eight hits in six innings of play in handing the host Tigers a 7-1 set-back.

For Harriman, it was all about the offense as the Blue Devils scored 20 runs in the first three innings of play and that was more than enough to hand Caryville a 20-10 loss.
