Ashburn Knight Awarded Sportsmanship Award

/in , /by

I recently was able presented to Nathan Davis his American Legion Virginia State Baseball Tournament Sportsmanship Award Trophy for his performance at the Legion State Tournament in Danville Virginia. Noteworthy, this Award was determined by the Tournament Umpires. The award has replaced the Legion MVP trophy at State Tournaments.

Nathan was not only a great player and leader for the Knights, but a true sportsman and gentleman.

He is off to do great things at Johns Hopkins University. I let him know how proud we all are of him and the Knights Team.

All the best,

Jim Linn
