## Caption

TEXAS THROWDOWN 11u is from Colleyville, TX (in the heart of the DFW metroplex). It is a special team named by a special girl with a special story. In 2020, Annabelle Grace (AG) Bartel was 10 years old & battling bone cancer. After the Covid pandemic shutdown baseball across the world in the spring of 2020, AG’s brother Sean Ryan & four teammates were looking for a new 8u team. AG’s dad, Eric Bartel, asked her for permission to coach her brother’s new baseball team, because he knew it would mean less time with her at the hospital. AG told her dad, “Yes you can coach on one condition. I get to name the team.” Coach Bartel smiled & agreed.
