When the Dixie Boys World Series was last played in Beaufort County in 2017, the home team kept the hardware. A group of Lowco all-stars will get a chance to repeat the feat this summer at Burton Wells Recreation Complex.
The county announced Burton Wells will be the site of the Dixie Boys (14U) and Junior Boys (13U) World Series tournaments from July 26 through 31. The event brings together the state champions from 11 states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia — to compete in a double-elimination tournament.
In 2017, a Beaufort County team coached by Rex Smith and Brian Laing claimed the championship at Oscar Frazier Park in Bluffton.
