Palm Beach High School Baseball Senior All-Star Game 2012
The first annual PalmBeachHighSchoolbaseball.com Senior All-Star Game will be held on Wednesday, May 30th, at 7pm. Last year, High School Baseball Network (HSBN) introduced its inaugural All-Star game in Broward, which drew hundreds of fans and dozens of scouts. This year, HSBN is bringing that same excitement to Palm Beach. The game, which will be played at American Heritage, will be a battle between the 2A-4A-8A Senior All-Stars and the 3A-5A-7A Senior All-Stars.
The night will be a celebration of our first season together. There will be raffles to win, vendors to visit, great food from the concession stand, on-field games for some of the kids in attendance, and of course, All-County and Player-of-the-Year awards handed out in-between innings!

HEAD COACHES
2A-4A-8A - Scott Benedict - Palm Beach Central
The Broncos were a powerhouse right off the bat under the veteran coach, who notched his 500th career win March 15. The school opened in 2004 and Benedict, who enjoyed previous success at Wellington, directed the team to the state seminfinals where Central lost 9-1 to Rockledge. Central has missed the regionals only twice since, in 2008 and 2011. They also lost in the regional finals three years in a row from 2005-2007. Two of those losses were to Flanagan.
3A-5A-7A - Brian Joros - Royal Palm Beach
Joros has been a head coach for nine years and is in his second season at Royal Palm Beach. He guided West Boca to four consecutive regional appearances from 2007-2010.
*** Note: The rest of the coaching staff for each team will be made up of the coaches who won their district's All-District Coach-of-the-Year award.
All-County Teams - The PalmBeachHighSchoolBaseball.com 1st Annual First and Second Team All-County awards will be given out this season at the All-Star game in-between innings, in ceremonious fashion, adding to the excitement and drama of the night.
The exciting night will come to an end after the game when we announce the PalmBeachHighSchoolBaseball.com Hitter, Pitcher, Coach, and Player-of-the-Year honors.
