Clearwater hosts U12 and U16 provincial boys softball championship tournaments
William Grant lines up while at bat. He was chosen MVP for one of the games.
Justin Sutherland connects for a hit as he plays for Merritt during the U16 championships. He was one of three Clearwater boys who took the opportunity to play for an out-of-town team.

Clearwater's Karter Romeo stretches right out as he pitches for Merritt during the U16 boys provincial softball championships. A total of 16 teams played 52 games in the U12 and the U16 events at Capostinsky Park and the Clearwater Secondary School field on the July 5 – 7 weekend.

The Stingers finished the round robin in fourth spot but were knocked out by Surrey Storm Juniors, and so ended up in fifth place out of nine teams. The team played a total of six games before the tournament, where they competed against teams that often played two games per week during the season.
