Lake Waccamaw Mayor Daniel Hilburn made these comments at the Josh Blackburn plaque unveiling at the Elizabeth Brinkley Park. “We are taking a special moment this evening to honor and celebrate the life of Joshua D. Blackburn. A lot of you knew him as Coach. I had the extreme pleasure of knowing Josh and having him as a friend. Josh was a big man in stature. When it came to fam- ily, friends and especially these kids, and ball teams, he had an even bigger heart and a passion to spend his time and efforts to ensure that the players got the best of everything he could give them. Ensuring that they could excel as ball players, all while mak- ing sure they had fun and enjoyed themselves. Coach Josh Blackburn is and will continue to be missed by everyone who knew him. Through this special dedi- cation, he will always be a part of these players and these teams who use this park.“ The dedication ceremony was made prior to the start of the post-season Columbus County Dixie Youth tournament.

Cerro Gordo’s Majors prevailed as the Columbus County Dixie Youth League champions, finishing the season with a perfect 14-0 record. Cerro Gordo faced Hallsboro in semifinal tourna- ment play and claimed a 12-2 victory. Lake Waccamaw defeated Evergreen 11-0 in the other semi-final match up. Aaron Mitchell and Sam Inman combined to pitch the shut out. Nokosi Locklear, Thatcher Rooks, Inman and Mitchell each had two hits for the Gators. Ethan Campbell, Jaiden Mitchell and Reese Elkins contrib- uted one hit apiece. The tournament championship game between Cerro Gordo and Lake Waccamaw was cancelled due to heavy storms passing through Lake Waccamaw. The Columbus County Minors championship game did take place. Hallsboro defeated Cerro Gordo 14-4 to claim the title. Hallsboro was also the regular season Minors champion, compiling a 12-2 record.
