On Saturday, April 26, SWR hosted perennial NYC powerhouse James Monroe HS. The Eagles were NYC championship finalists in 2007 and are in the midst of another outstanding season. They are coming off of winning the 2008 James Monroe Holiday Tournament, in which 28 teams, representing all five boroughs of NYC, participated. After completing a competitive seven-inning scrimmage, the Wildcats and their families hosted Monroe to a family style barbeque. Players from both teams ate, mingled together and shared baseball stories during the barbeque. The plan is to continue this tradition each year, including a trip to the Bronx for SWR. A special thank you to all of the SWR parents who provided the barbeque and a variety of other foods.
