11 Year Olds WIN District 2 Baseball Championship!
The South Portage 11 year old All-Star team cruised through district play winning four straight games by outscoring opponents 33-14. Jared VanderBor and Wolf Schafer shared the pitching duties during District 2 play each winning 2 games.
The Championship game against West Portage was a great one to watch as South Portage found itself down going into the 6th inning. But a timely double from Jared Vanderbor knocked in two runs (Jackson Schelb and Brandon West) putting South Portage ahead for good 6-5. The one run lead proved enough as the 11 year olds shut down West Portage in the bottom of the 6th. Wolf Schafer pitched the entire 6 innings for South Portage.
Next stop for the Champions won't be Disney World they must play a sectional with District 15 Champion Mattawan. The best of three sectional series is scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (if necessary) at Milwood Little League. All games begin at 6PM. Good Luck Boys - Go Get 'Em.

Senior Softball State Runner-Up
The South Portage Senior Girls worked their way into the State Championship by defeating Mattawan 8-2 in the 2nd Chance Bracket. South Portage started the tournament on fire defeating D9 Georgetown 5-1 and D15 Mattawan 9-0 before running into a stingy D5 Taylor team and losing 2-7.
South Portage needed to turn the tables on Taylor and beat them twice to claim the State Championship. Taylor would have none of it though and continued their exceptional defense not letting South Portage score while getting 9 runs themselves.
Great job girls, you made all of us at South Portage proud!
