Quito LL: Tradition
All-Star Tournament
Quito faired pretty well in all age groups. The 9's won the
championship (below) and the 12's made it to the semi-finals.
Quito 9's Win All-Start Championship!
Our 9 year-old All Stars won the District 12 All Stars Friday, July 10th by a score of 11-10 against Union LL. A great effort by all members of the All Star Team. This is the first time in many years that Quito has won the 9's and what a sweet tournament it was, with only a single loss during the tournament.
Congratulations to the players and coaches of the 9's All Star Team!!!

Quito di Bocce - The Numbers are in!
The
primary purpose of Quito di Bocce is to raise money for the league so
that we can keep our registration fees down. Like the hitathon, we did
not meet our goal of $15,000, but we did come very close! All in all,
we raised $13,463 for the league. That compares with $14,499 last year. Given the current economy, that's not bad at all!
We want to thank all of you who donated and attended and send a very special "thank you" to the team of volunteers led by Nicole Stone who worked hours upon hours for months to pull this event together! You are all very special people and we are lucky to have you in our league!

Hit-a-thon Top Fund Raiser Highlight – Brockton Simpson!
Many of our players hit the streets to help the league and we rose over $6,320 in total for the league. Although that didn’t meet our goal of $8,000, it’s pretty darn good in our current economy! Cameron Brett, President of Quito Little League said “It’s this sort of community effort that makes Quito Little League what it is! During these difficult economic times we really appreciate everyone’s participation in our fundraising events!”
The top fund raising prize goes to Brockton Simpson, who collected $736.75
in donations! For nearly 2 weeks, Brockton came home from school every
day, put on his uniform and went door to door for 1 ½ to 2 hours
soliciting donations for the league! His brother, Tanner would
accompany him on occasion.
Brockton’s mom, Dawn Simpson, said “Neighbors would often question him about whether the money was really going to Little League and not candy and ice cream.” She said Brock would merely tell them “I’m honest and I promise you that every penny will go to Quito Little League”. Well, neighbors, the Quito Treasurer can attest to the fact that every penny did come to the league!
When asked how he felt about his son’s efforts, Brockton’s dad, Greg Simpson, said: “I’m just so proud of him. He wanted to throw out that first pitch at the San Jose Giants game and give something back to the league he loves. He worked hard every day!”
Brockton wins the grand prize of a Microsoft Xbox game console and gets to throw out the first pitch at this weekend’s San Jose Giants game. Way to go Brockton! Thank you for your contribution! We are so happy to have you and your family in the league!
