Fall 2016 VA Peninsula Kickball Jungle Gym Conference Second Team

Pitcher - Kyle Tyson (Night Sweats)(19 first place votes out of 109 ballots)

Kyle is freakishly athletic and never seems to run out of energy.  Seriously, even in the last innings of all day tournaments, he's not only throwing filth and diving all over the place, but he's still bouncing around even when just receiving the ball back from the backstop.

Catcher - Brian Neal (WAKA'm To The Jungle)(19)
He's ok I guess.

Charger - Dominique Smith (DCOMB)(6)
Dominique is the hardest working player I've seen.  Not satisfied with just having one of the strongest arms in the country, he is constantly trying to improve something.  Whether it's his footwork, his release time, or his trash talking, Dominique will find a way to be better today than he was yesterday.

First Baseman - Travis Cobb (Cardiac Arrest)(23)
"Hands for days!"  No matter how many times you see it, it's always impressive how smooth Travis plays the position.  Drops are few and far between and it's absolutely a horrible idea to try to run on him.

Outfielder - Shane Chambers (WTF)(11)
Even though he was nominated as an outfielder, Shane does everything well.  Not only that, but he has one of the best "team first" mentalities in the league.  So if a lock down outfielder is what is needed, a lock down outfielder is what Shane will give you.

Outfielder - Corryl Boyd (Cardiac Arrest)(8)
He's fast.  Really, really fast.  If someone tracked "extra bases", he would likely out pace everyone else in the league... combined.

Utility - Frank Council (WAKA'm To The Jungle)(20)
Whether it's his kick pass outs at charger, his reach and laser rocket arm at first, his dual threat bunting and kicking, or his spectacular personality and leadership, Frank does everything so damn well.

Female - Haley Efird (Night Sweats)(10)
Haley taught Gene everything he knows about kickball.  She even loves him so much that she allows him to believe he is faster and stronger.  Well it's all a ruse and more and more people are recognizing the fact that she truly is "The Better Efird".

Female - Courtney Efird (DCOMB)(7)
Between taking a season off and missing games this season, a significant percentage of this league may have no idea who Courtney is.  But she stepped up huge in the tournament to remind everyone why she deserves recognition for being one of the best.

Female - Kearsten Lewis (Night Sweats)(6)
Consistency.  It's hard to think of anyone in the league that you're less surprised to see lay down a perfect bunt or land a line drive.  Not only that, but Kearsten is also one of the best teachers of the game.

Female - Liza Maula (Chaotic Kilfs)(7)
Liza may be the toughest person in the league and she'll show you that toughness if you don't get the hell out of her damn way!  She has a nose for the ball on defense and superb awareness on offense.
