A Coushatta athlete has been selected one of the top baseball players in his age division in the US. He is Tyler Hughes, son of Timmy and Alison Hughes.

Alison Hughes told The Journal, “Tyler was selected as a USSSA Baseball All American. This means he is one of the top 25 players in the nation in the 12 and under age division.”

Hughes said, “We will travel to Viera, Florida in August for him to play on the All American team. This is a huge honor and accomplishment.” Hughes added, “He was chosen as a result of being invited to a tryout based upon his stats and play in USSSA tournaments.”
