10TH ANNUAL SPEEDCAT HOLIDAY CLASSIC

Entries are now being accepted to our 10th Annual Speedcat Holiday Classic. Traditionally this fall tournament has one of the toughest middle school fields in the Northwest.  Last year we had 5 out of the 6 best 8th grade girls teams in the Northwest, and this year should be no exception.  Some of the Northwest's powerhouse clubs have already committed.  Go to the handout page for flyer and registration form.  Additionally, you can go to the handout page for hotel information for this year's tournament.  If you have questions, email us at speedcats1@aol.com or call director Jeff Wingate at 541-521-6729.

Our 2009 Summer Selects teams finished their summer season at the Fila Showtime Nationals at Mater Dei HS in Santa Ana, California last weekend.  Both teams finished 2-3 and both teams finished 9-10 for the summer NCAA viewing period.  Coach Wilkins and Coach Brancato were extremely complimentary about the teams performance for the summer and the season provided a ton of exposure to college coaches.  Below you'll find a recap of the Fila Showtime National tournament.
