Heath stars Daniel Webb and Chad Wright have been selected as the First Region's senior representatives in the East-West all-star games, which are sponsored by the state baseball coaches' association. Both Webb, a pitcher and first baseman, and center fielder Wright are University of Kentucky signees, and Webb is expected to be a high-round selection in Major League Baseball's amateur draft in early June.
The two senior alternates are Marshall County shortstop Tyler O'Daniel (signed at Rend Lake College) and Murray's Bradley Cobb, a pitcher and third baseman who has been invited to walk on at Murray State.
The junior representatives are a pair of Marshall stars, left-handed pitcher Cody Forsythe and catcher Brantley Barrett. The alternates are Lone Oak pitcher-outfielder Allen Haase and Ballard Memorial catcher Alex Harper.
Also, Lone Oak teammates Luke Shuemaker and Daniel Edwards have committed to Rend Lake. Shuemaker is one of the region's top outfielders and lefty hitters, and Edwards has blossomed into a solid shortstop this spring with an improved bat.
Other area junior college signees: Calloway County pitcher Josh Reynolds will play at Wabash Valley and Crittenden County catcher Jacob McMican will play at Three Rivers.
