The Rattlers roll into the state semifinals with a gaudy 30-2 record (http://www.al.com/sports/mobileregister/index.ssf?/base/sports/1203761712145000.xml&coll=3). LeFlore is ranked #1 in the state and #12 in the nation. Williams was the MVP of the South Regional Tournament, and his coach could not say enough about the young man:
Quote"What can I say? Nick Williams," said LeFlore coach Otis Hughley, whose Rattlers improved to 30-2 and beat Baldwin County for the fourth time this season. "He's just one of those throwback, old-school fundamental ballplayers."
