Big Spring Herald Weekend

Big Spring Steers Baseball Coach Daniel Carrillo to coach in the 2021 GWTBCA ALL-STAR Game

- By DUSTIN POPE Herald Sports Writer

It’s summer, and that means it’s also time for All-star high school baseball showcase teams. One of the most prominent of these games is the Greater West Texas Baseball Coaches Associatio­n (GWTBCA) All-star game. This year’s event will be held Saturday, June 19, at 1 p.m. in Frenship. They have selected Big Spring Steers Head Baseball Coach Daniel Carrillo to be one of the coaches for the game.

Coach Carrillo coaches the Blue team this weekend. The units include local baseball players from around the West Texas region varying from class 4A-6A and TAPPS. The players will be from schools such as Midland Lee, Lubbock Cooper, Lubbock Christian, San Angelo Central, Levelland, Lubbock High, Trinity Christian, Perryton, Lubbock Estacado, Snyder, Pecos, Andrews, Frenship, Plainview, Amarillo High, Midland Christian,

Canyon, Andrews, Palo Duro, and Snyder. Even though no Big Spring Steers made the team, this will be an exceptiona­l opportunit­y for Coach Carrillo to have time to coach some players he is acquainted with and some he is not.

His being requested to help in this game illustrate­s what kind of coach he is and will remain to be.

This game will be a display of a lot of local talent from around the area. It will be a superb chance to see all the skilled baseball players and what West Texas brings to the plate. It should be an excellent time if you are searching for something to do Saturday afternoon; head down to Frenship and catch a game of baseball.
