Knights lose in Deep East Texas World Series Championship Game!
The Knights finished day one as the number 2 seed and come from
behind to win their semifinal game 6-5. They lose to the
Gilmer Dirtbags in the final. A heroic effort by a team that
has only been playing together for a few months!
Knights find many ways to enjoy the game of
baseball, both in and out of the Pool?????
The Knights and their families all got together recently at
Eagles Bluff Country Club for fun, food, and drink! The
Pool Party extraordinaire was a visible example of how kids are
kids, and these kids love baseball! Not 30 minutes into
the party, all the Knights had gathered in the shallow are and
were playing a improvised game of baseball with a beach ball and
water cannon (bat)! There is one thing that all had in
common from the beginning..........BASEBALL!
The initial focus for the team will be the
reinforcement of fundamentals. We fully expect that every
player will be asked to play multiple positions throughout this
season as we will be expected to play multiple games during a
single day and flexibility will be important.
This is the East Texas Knights Premiere Sponsorship
Opportunity and will allow the Sponsor to receive Maximum Exposure
in all Knights related activities. This Sponsor will help to
offset fees related to equipment, uniforms, etc.
Excalibur,
the legendary sword of King Arthur, was said to have magical powers
as it helped to aid all who held it in their travels across Camelot.
The Excalibur Sponsor will also aid the East Texas Knights by
helping to supplement the travel budgets for the various teams.
Travel costs are significant for these teams as they seek to
represent the Community in high level competition. You can
help to defray these costs and give much needed support and aid to
the Knights and their families.
These sponsors will help to offset the various travel requirements,
hotel stays, food costs, etc. associated with an elite select
baseball club. As King Arthur stated as he charged his faithful
Knights:
“Ever
it is a worshipful knights deed to help another worshipful knight
when he seeth him a great danger, for ever a worshipful man should
loath to see a worshipful man shamed, for it is only he that is of
no worship and who faireth with cowardice that shall never show
gentelness or no manner of goodness where he seeth a man in any
danger, but always a good man will do another man as he would have
done to himself.”
These sponsors will receive secondary billing only to the King
Arthur Sponsor on all sponsor related items including the dugout
banner.
Sir Lancelot was the First Knight
of the Round Table, and he never failed in gentleness, courtesy, or
courage. Lancelot was also a knight who was very willing to serve
others. It has been said that Lancelot was the greatest
fighter and swordsman of all the knights of the Round Table. Legend
tells us that Lancelot became one of history's greatest knights.
Your support as a Lancelot Sponsor will help to offset the costs of
training, coaching, and skill development for the players. We seek
to develop the Lancelot's of tomorrow by providing the finest
training available.
The East Texas Knights are committed to developing players that
resemble the characteristics of Sir Lancelot. Your willingness
to be a Lancelot Sponsor will help to provide the foundation to
allow these kids to become the Community Leaders of tomorrow.
These
sponsors will receive significant visibility that will be secondary
only to the King Arthur and Excalibur Sponsors.
Help
to sponsor kids of character and skill by becoming a Round Table
Sponsor that will help to offset tournament and league related fees
such as field rental, umpire costs, game equipment, etc. The East
Texas Knights are committed to achieving excellence both on and off
the field and you can help to ensure that our own Texas-sized
Camelot will be represented across the State and Nation.
To achieve
all we seek to achieve comes with significant operational
expenditures.
Round Table Sponsors will receive third billing in all sponsor
acknowledgement and related material.
The East Texas
Knights are reliant on support from our Sponsors. Every penny
raised by the organization goes towards the development of our
players into high level athletes and kids of character. Help
us develop the leaders of our community for the future!
Thank you for you support of the East Texas
Knights!
