Banks Griffith never had to think twice about the invitation. The rising senior shortstop for the Gainesville High baseball team was selected by the Georgia Dugout Club to be Hall County’s lone representative on Team Georgia in the Sunbelt Baseball Classic, which took place June 8-14 at the Atoka City Complex in Atoka, Oklahoma. In a six-day span Griffith played against some of the best Division I and Major-league prospect level talent from around the nation, while representing Georgia’s finest — mostly from the metro-Atlanta area.
