The PGF Futures and Seniors All American Games were held Saturday night at Deanna Manning Stadium in Bill Barber Park, Irvine, Calif. and featured many of the top players who project to be the next level superstars in the sport.
The team rosters were announced in May—click HERE to see the preview we did then announcing the players for all four teams (East & West in the Senior Game and Juniors & Sophomores in the Futures All American Game).
For those keeping track, the Juniors Team defeated the Sophomores in the Futures Game by a score of 2-1 with Layla Lamar (Florida commit) coming up with the game-winning hit to earn MVP honors.
In the night camp, the fourth game of the day after the 16U and 18U PGF Premier National Championships and the first (Futures) All American Game, saw MVP Mia Williams (Florida signee) hit a first inning three-run home run over the field in left center that would eventually propel the East Team to a 7-6 victory.
We caught up with both MVPs — both future Florida Gators — after their impressive performances and they shared their thoughts on what the All American Games meant to them:
Futures All American Game MVP: Layla Lamar
Senior All American Game MVP: Mia Williams
