16U Black - 3 Championships and the Silver Medal at the Nutmeg Games!

 ______________________________________

Welcome to the Home of the CT Pink Panthers!

  Shannon Erickson was the winner of the Miss Southington Scholarship Pageant held on Jan. 17 at Derynoski Elementary School.  Erickson was named “Miss Southington 2009” and Taylor Hira was named first runner-up.

The pageant is an official preliminary to Miss Connecticut, and to Miss America, one of the nation’s leading achievement programs and the world’s largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women. In total, more than $1,000 in scholarship funds and awards were presented during the annual program.  Erickson will participate in the Miss Connecticut pageant in June, where she will contend for additional scholarships and the chance at Miss America.

She will also be available as a volunteer for local organizations and community events.

The CT Pink Panthers are still looking for players for all age levels.  Call anytime, and we'll arrange an opportunity to see you play. If you are interested in playing travel ball for the CT Pink Panthers, please contact Bryan Pereyo at 860-621-3035. This coming season we have a 14U, 16U, 18U, and a new 23U team.

The CT Pink Panthers Organization enjoyed great success during the 2008 season. Our 16U Black team had a terrific season: 1st place at the CT Pink Panther National ASA College Showcase, the Silver Medal (2nd place) at the Connecticut Nutmeg Games, 1st place at the CVFL Championship in Southington, and 1st place at the Dynamite Classic in Taunton, MA. Our 16U Pink took 2nd Place in Prospect Panther PONY National Qualifier. Our 18U took 2nd place in the Platinum Bracket at the PA Firecracker PONY National Qualifier.
