2010 14U Warrior Season Comes to an End...

Final Game of Season, Battle of the Warriors Game 3
It has been a wonderful season--the players have grown in so many ways (skill level & height) since last fall! We won some, we lost some...but I believe our boys gained much throughout the season.  I know it would have been great to have won more games along the way, but when we didn't win, we were often very close to it!  I think all the players deserve kudos for the time and effort they put into the season--after all, they've been practicing since last October--many of whom were also balancing school and other sports along the way!

As you look forward towards next year, many of our players will be heading to high school.  Congratulations to our Warrior freshmen and best of luck in your future endeavors!  Whether you decide to play high school baseball, continue with the OYA Colt league, or take your talents to a full-time travel team, I wish you the best and hope to have the opportunity to capture your athletic moments in photos in the future!  There is currently conversations about a 15U Warriors team...when we know more details about this possibility, I'll be sure to post something here for those of you interested.

As for our 13 year olds who will be looking for a 14U option, I encourage you to consider trying out for the 2011 14U Warrior team!  Tryouts will be held August 7th & 8th at 2:00pm on Centennial 5--players should plan on attending BOTH tryout dates.  In addition, players interested in trying out need to register with OYA at the link below:

Thanks for creating amazing moments for me to capture in pictures!

Our Warriors Are Back!

Players celebrate with Matt LeVigne after his homerun--joining the ranks of Julian Gutierez and Tyler Dempsey who also earned homeruns during the game!


It was the "Battle of the Warriors" and our Warriors definitely battled to get back! After falling in the first game by 1 run, our Warriors defeated the other Warrior team 8-6 in game 2.  Three homeruns contributed to the big win, including Julian Gutierez' second homerun of the season, Tyler Dempsey's first home run immediately following Gutierez', and then Matt LeVigne's first HR of the season!  There were several other great hits by our Warriors...their bats were on fire today!  Pitching was strong also, holding the other Warrior team in both games.
In between games all players and families enjoyed a great picnic lunch in the shade--special thanks to all parents who contributed to this event!  Clearly...our players benefited from the good food and relaxation between games!  Wednesday we begin our final tournament of the season...the Palos Rumble!  Let's hope our players bring their same level of play Wednesday night!
Teammates congratulate Julian Gutierez after his second homerun of the season!


Warriors congratulate Tyler Dempsey after his first homerun of the season!
Warriors celebrate the excitement of the 3rd HR of the game!
