COVINGTON, Ga- If you’re looking for the best 8u baseball team in the nation, look no further than Covington, GA.

The Newton County Royal 8u All-Stars proved in dominant fashion that they are a force to be reckoned with, and indeed worthy of winning the prestigious United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA) World Series.

Just how dominant was this team? It won every game by run-rule, meaning that the game was forced to an early conclusion due to an astronomical gap in scoring.
“As far as USSSA, they have a power rating, and usually I’ve always seen teams around 1200 or 1300, that means they’re really strong and good teams,” said first year head coach William Cutshall, “By the end of the World Series, our power rating went up to 1549, and I’ve never seen a power rating that high before.”

That comes as no surprise as the Newton County Royal 8u All-Stars have steamrolled their competition prior to heading down to Gulfport, Miss., posting an unblemished record throughout the regular season as well as the Georgia state tournament.

It’s always nice to enjoy the moment, and this team has certainly earned the right to celebrate, enjoy, and live in the current moment, but Cutshall is looking for more as he plans to move up to the 9u level with the same team.

“It’s hard to get a team like this together, so you need to keep them together," he said.
Some of the players on this team have played with each other before, but collectively this is their first year playing together.  
However, you couldn’t tell by watching this bunch play and paying attention to the results that they produce. 

“This is our first year, and to do that well in the first year is amazing,” Cutshall said.
Expectations will definitely be high in the future for Cutshall's All-Stars.  
If there is a dynastic concept within this organization, they are certainly off to a great start, and the work won't cease.

The All Stars will enjoy the feeling now, but they are looking to build upon what they’ve already started and continue their dominant ways as they move up in age and progress along their careers.
“It feels great,” said Cutshall.  “When we went down there, I wasn’t sure about the teams and the competition we would be up against, but our team prevailed.”
