Shelton State Headed to NJCAA World Series
With a dominant 22-6 victory over Wallace-Dothan Wednesday, the Shelton State Buccaneers have won the ACCC Championship and punched a ticket to Grand Junction, Colorado for the NJCAA D1 World Series tournament later this month.
The Bucs are led by head coach Bobby Sprowl, who in his 31st year with Shelton State is headed to his fifth World Series appearance in nine years. Despite his over 1,000 career wins, the Bucs haven't won a national championship under Sprowl.
Sprowl is a name familiar to long-time Tuscaloosa residents entrenched in T-Town baseball culture. Sprowl played baseball at Alabama in the '70s and has been recognized in the Alabama Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame and as a member of the University of Alabama's All-Century baseball team.
