2010 Junior State Champions!

Congratulations to our Junior Baseball team for becoming the "2010 State Champions"! Since their return from Medical Lake, WA, the boys, their families, and the community (Whidbey Island) have been working non-stop to collect donations for their trip to the Regional Tournament in Laguna Niguel, California (25191 Chapparosa Park Road, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677).

In the next few days our league will need to have earned $20,000 to cover their air-fare, transportation, lodging, and food for the team. We have several families, businesses, and organizations that have donated (THANK YOU)! But are still unable to cover the airfare of $8600 that is on hold until Wednesday evening. If you are able to donate please use the "Donate" button on our website or make a donation at your local Wells Fargo.

Thank you to all the families and businesses that have been able to donate. Our list is growing fast and I'll update it as time permits.

2010 District-11 Champions!

The Junior Boys began their journey at the District-11 All-Star Tournament in South Whidbey on Monday, July 5th. They played a great game and ten-ran South Whidbey 14-4. Without a break they immediately advanced to game #3 on Tuesday, July 6th and unfortunately were outscored by South Skagit 12-8 which sent them into the loser’s bracket.

On Wednesday, July 7th the temperature sky-rocketed and game time temperatures were at 82, the boys were on fire and outscored Anacortes 25-1 and advanced to Game #8.

On Thursday, July 8th Game time temperatures were 92 and the boys beat South Whidbey 14-4 for the second time and advanced to game #9.
On Friday, July 9th the boys ten-ran North Whidbey 14-1 and advanced to game #10 to play South Skagit for the championship.

In order for the boys to win the District-11 Championship and advance to the State Tournament they had to beat South Skagit twice. The first game went seven innings with both teams playing like champions, but Central edged out South Skagit by a score of 3-2 which forced game #11 and gave the boys a chance to take home the District Championship.

Game #11 started at 3:00 PM, with game time temperatures at 85 the boys were ready to head to Medical Lake for the State Tournament and ousted South Skagit by a score of 9 to 7 to take home the 2010 District-11 Championship.
