The Texas Roughriders finished second in the USSSA World Series this weekend held in Louisiana. The Roughriders proved they had a lot of heart by fighting their way back through the losers bracket defeating 7 straight top ranked teams placing them in the title game. The USSSA Representative stated that this accomplishiment had never been done before. The offense was lead by big hits from Carter Henry (Port Neches) and the defense was lead by Brett Ladner (Orange) behind the plate throwing several out. Drake Trawhon (Orange) was selected MVP of the tournament with great outings in both offense and defense. The Roughriders is a team of some of the best players in Southeast Texas: Carter Henry, Drake Trawhon, Brett Ladner, Logan LeJeune, Montana Berry, Ryan Abel, Jared Hendrix, Jimmy Hendrix, Nathan Vidrine, Colten Hicks, and Cole Geraud. I would have to say these boys had a great season with an ending record of 46 - 9 and several tournament championships. I can not imagine what they will be like in the future since this was only their first year together as a team..
