2006 CANADA CUP CHAMPIONS
The highlight of the 2006 campaign was the trip to British Columbia, Canada to compete in the Canada Cup. The Dynamites BadSide went 15-2 to win this prestigious International Championship with the two losses coming in exhibition play agaist the 18U WhiteRock Renegades and then in pool play against the Surrey Storm. The Surrey Storm was a very well coached group of talented athletes who we later met in the 1 game winner-take-all championship. The Dynamites BadSide prevailed banging out 12 hits in the 4-0 win.
Fundraising and teamwork with many personal sacrifices allowed the girls to compete in an environment that most softball players will never have the opportunity to play. A special thanks to Jaime and Lisa for having the vision to press forward when many would have given up. That is the difference between GREAT LEADERSHIP and good leadership.

A Message From Our #1 Fan In Canada
Number 1 Canadian Fan "Larry"
"From a Canadian at the Canada Cup
I went to the tournament to see the top teams from 9 countries. I ended up
watching a 16 and under team from 1 US State.
I was "hooked" after watching one game. I watched every game they played!
I had my wife take a day off of work to see this fantastic team. She got to
a game plus, she watched the final game for the 16 and under cup.
We cheered, we laughed, we had fun with this team. When I was given a
signed ball with a picture of the team from Oklahoma for being their #1 fan,
it brought tears to my eyes (#10 Poke knows). I am glad I had sunglasses
on."
Thank you parents, and grandparents that were there.
Thank you coaches.
But most of all
Thank you!!!
OKLAHOMA DYNAMITES BADSIDE.
From your 2 Canadian Fans.
