GILMER, Texas — The Gilmer boys baseball team is known for their success on the field but after a devastating tornado touched down in the Gilmer area, they decided to skip practice and go help out those in need.
Head coach Josh Riley said the idea came to his mind after driving by and seeing all of the destruction that had occurred. He said he knew that his players could help out so that is exactly what they did. Experiences like this make them become men.
Destruction like this does not occur everywhere across the country. Having young adults step up and help those in need, shows their maturity and how these young men were brought up in East Texas.
