Miles Head of the Fayette Mud Dogs 11-year-old travel baseball team has been voted 9/10-year-old Player of the Year in Georgia for 2001 by the American Amateur Baseball Association (AABC). The AABC made the announcement last spring and presented the award to Head at a recent game in Fayetteville. Head led the Mud Dogs to the Georgia State Championship as the team finished with a record of 65-15. Head batted .495 with 21 homeruns and 102 runs batted in.

The Mud Dogs are in the middle of another great season playing in Fayetteville and numerous tournaments around the southeast. They have already qualified for the International Baseball Championship World Series in Clearwater Beach, Fla. the first week of August. They will be competing with 48 teams from the United States, Canada, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and other islands.
