I hate to sound like a broken record, especially in this thread, but if the community of Pigeon Forge as a whole can "be patient" there is a very good core group of kids in the seventh & eighth grades as well as the little league system. I don't post here much, but I see the kids in the little league system almost daily, and trust me, they bleed orange and black, whereas sometimes I get the feeling some of the kids on the high school team are there just to be seen. It takes a sense of tradation and work ethic, and trust me, the boys comming up have both.
