    Many, many reasons not to overplay this, but it can be interesting to log these stories and see if they resurface down the line:

    Clarksville’s Isaac Barrientos, 10, has been selected to play in an all-star series in Barcelona, Spain, later this fall. One of 70 players selected from a pool of 1,000 in the southeastern United States, Isaac caught the attention of the international coaching ranks during the Barcelona Soccer Academy camp in June. Isaac and his father will travel to Barcelona in late November for a 10-day stay that will include coaching from the Barcelona Football Club coaches as well as matches against Spanish all-stars of his age group.

    A chief reason not to hype this too much is because, as the story notes, the family (not the club) is paying for this experience. With that said,

    To help the defray those costs, Tennessee Gun Country has organized a fundraiser on Saturday, Oct.25. Customers who make a contribution to Isaac’s cause can use the shooting range for free.
    So, if you'd like to help, fire away.

    Only in America can a 10 yr old's European soccer trip be funded with a shooting range fundraiser.
