The Tennessee Baseball Report has named recent Summertown High School graduate and Vol State signee Clint Gobbell as its Most Valuable Player for the 2009 season.

The 2009 All TBR Team report, which was released in recent days, recognizes the Summertown shortstop as the state’s high school baseball MVP and the state’s homerun leader.

Gobbell graduated from Summertown in May and has signed with Volunteer State in Gallatin to continue his baseball career.

Gobbell joins two of his Summertown teammates on the TBR Class A-AA First Team. Logan Harville and K.J. Roberts were also recognized with membership on the team.
