 2007 Review

CONGRADULATIONS TO ALL FOR A VERY EXCITING AND SUCCESSFUL 2007 SEASON . THIS COULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT ALL OUR GREAT VOLUNTEERS AND SPONSORS. THE CHILDREN THAT PARTICIPATE ARE ALL WINNERS BUT WE HAD SOME VERY SUCCESSFUL WINNING TEAMS THIS SEASON. MANAGER GREG HEFFINGER AND YOUNG LADIES FROM MODERN GAS WON REGULAR SEASON MAJOR DIVISION SOFTBALL TITLE AND FOLLOWED THAT WITH WINNING FIRST EVER DOUBLE ELIMINATION CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNMENT. MANAGER JIM BOWN AND THE YOUNG MEN FROM TINSLEY DESIGN HAD THE BEST RECORD IN MAJOR BASEBALL DIVISION. MANAGER TREVOR HAFNER AND HIS YOUNG MEN FROM GENNOVE'S FOX & HOUND WON OUR MINOR LEAGUE DOUBLE ELIMANTION CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT. MANAGER ANN RATCHFORD AND 11-12 YEAR OLD ALL-STAR GIRLS DISTRICT 17 SOUTH RUNNER-UP. THEN FINALLY THERE WERE 11 VERY SPECIAL 12 YEAR OLD YOUNG MEN LEAD BY MANAGER JOHN WAHL AND HIS TREMENDOUS GROUP OF ASSISTANTS BILL MORRELL SR., JERRY COLES, T.J. MELLIAND, ADAM NAUGHTON, TOM GUSE, ZACH GUSE, MARTY KELLY SR., JOE RUNCO, JOEY RUNCO, AND JACK WILLIAMS JR ACCOMPLISHED WHAT NO TEAM IN THE 58 YEAR HISTORY OF OUR GREAT LITTLE EVER HAD. THEY BOUGHT IN AND BELIEVED IN THEIR MANAGERS SYSTEM AND PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT, NEVER GAVE UP TO WIN THE PA DISTRICT 17 AND PA SECTION 5 CHAMPIONSHIPS. IT WAS 42 DAYS THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

LITTLE LEAGUE GRADUATE JAMES BROWN WAS SELECTED BY HIS PEERS AS OUR 2007 FREACH-KEEN WINNER.THIS PRESTIGOUS AWARD REPRESENTS CHARACTER, COURAGE, LOYALTY, SPORTSMANSHIP, AND ACADEMICS. KERRI ORR AND RYAN SHEERER ALSO RECIEVED MANY NOMINATIONS. ONLY MONTHS AWAY FROM FIRST PITCH BEING DELIVERED IN 2008. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
