Our '06-'07 12u team wrapped up its storybook season with an impressive 7th place finish in a field of 80 teams at the NSA World Series in Charlotte, NC. The talk wasn't about the ellusive title. Instead, the focus was on what the Team accomplished in the 2007 Season.
Our squad won an impressive 7 tournaments, including the Illinois USSSA and NSA State Championships, and in addition were runner-ups in two 14-Under Tournaments. The team ended the season with an overall record of 76 Wins, 9 Losses, which included 29 shut-outs, 10 no-hitters and a run differential of 574:165. Way to Play!!!!
Most important, we impressed many teams who approached us throughout the season to compliment the team on not only their play, but behavior, attitude and drive.Thank you to the Coaching Staff, Players, Families, and Fans of the White Sox Academy!
