 A FEW PROUD ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE CATS THROUGH 8 YEARS *

*ALLEYCATS LANDED 1ST PLACE IN THE FIRST USSSA STATE TOURNAMENT SPONSORED BY WORTH, THIS WAS AIMED TOWARD SUMMER COLLEGE TEAMS IN EACH STATE. CATS ARE IN THE RECORD BOOKS FOR BEING THE FIRST EVER TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL. 1-CAT VOTED MVP OF THE STATE TOURNAMENT, 5 CATS MADE THE ALL TOURNAMENT TEAM.
 * ALLEYCATS HAVE TAKEN 15 1ST PLACE TOURNAMENT TROPHIES IN THE LAST 8 YEARS.
 *ALLEYCATS HOLD RECORD FOR WINNING 3 TOURNAMENTS IN A ROW. WINNING 18 GAMES IN A ROW TO ACHIEVE THIS.
 * ALLEYCATS HAVE WON 25 OR MORE GAMES  7 OUT OF OUR 8 YEAR HISTORY. (MAY NOT SOUND LIKE ALOT, BUT COMPETITION CAN BE BRUTAL AT THIS LEVEL AT A 40 TO 45 GAME SCHEDULE.)
 * ALLEYCATS FOUND A WAY TO ACCOMPLISH A PERFECT GAME THROUGH TEAM EFFORT IN THE LARGEST ADULT FASTPITCH TOURNAMENT IN THE NATION. THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR HAS CONFIRMED THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE IN ANY OF HIS TOURNAMENTS.
 * ALLEYCATS PITCHING STAFF COMBINED FOR 8 NO HITTERS IN 8 YEARS.
* ALLEYCATS OUT OF 7 TOURNAMENTS IN 2007 FOUND THEIR WAY 5 TIMES IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND
 * ALLEYCATS WON BACK TO BACK TITLES AT THE NORTHERN ILLINOIS LIGHTNING SUMMER BASH TOURNAMENT IN 2008
* ONE LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT THESE BALL PLAYERS HAVE ACHIEVED THROUGH OUR 8 YEARS. TEAM PRIDE AND ATTITUDE. MOST OF OUR BALL PLAYERS THAT HAVE COME AND GONE AS AN ALLEYCAT HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A GROUP OF BALL PLAYERS WITH GREAT ATTITUDES.
 WE HAVE ONE RULE TO MAINTAIN ON OUR TEAM, NO BAD ATTITUDES, IF YOU GOT ONE,YOUR HISTORY. LADIES FROM THE PAST AND TO OUR PRESENT TEAM HAVE TAKEN THIS RULE SERIOUSLY AND MADE US A BETTER TEAM THROUGH THE YEARS. I THANKYOU LADIES FOR MAKING MY JOB AND MY ASSISTANT COACHES JOBS EASY FOR THE WAY YOU HAVE CONDUCTED YOURSELVES ON THE FIELD AND OFF.  NOTHING BUT CLASS !!! YOU GO CATS !!!!
2010 CATS SEE YOU IN THE SPRING
