Leesburg--AFLAC announcing the first five of thirty eight players to it's All American Team this afternoon in Aberdeen, Maryland.
Among those honored today was Lee County's Buster Posey, who also receives an invitation to play in the East vs. West Baseball Classic in August.
Posey, a shortstop and right handed pitcher for the Lee County Trojans, is currently batting over .500 with five home runs including a grand slam last night that lifted the Trojans over Lowndes.
