Boys’ Team brings home Gold from Wilmot

The Paris Predators U15 Boys’ Softball team travelled to Wilmot for the year-end tournament and returned home with gold medals to cap off their season. It all started last weekend with their first game against Springfield on Saturday morning. They won that match up confidently, sending Springfield into the losers’ bracket with a 12-0 win. The second game against Norwich/Otterville was a bit of a nailbiter. Paris didn’t give up and rallied from behind to take the 13-11 win and earn a position in championship game on Sunday. In a rematch against Norwich /Otterville in the finals, Paris played a good defensive and offensive game, winning the gold medals 13-5. Congratulations to everyone on the team on a well-played tournament: Greyson Bernaski, Noah Connolly, Foster Corbett, Dylan Drinkle, Noah Elliston, Beau Jack, Lincoln Jeavons, Miles Maher, Mason Munro, Tallen Pelton, Ethan Sickle, Logan Sinclair and Maddix Tavares. A special thank-you to this year’s coaches who helped the players develop their skills and love of the game: Cory Munro, Mike Sinclair and Chris Maher.

The U11 (left) and U13 (right) Girls Softball Teams were in Innerkip last weekend to wrap up their South Oxford League season with a double-knock out style tournament. Both teams battled hard but were faced with top seeded teams early on in the tournament and were knocked out after two games. Coaches from both teams reported unbelievable growth and skill development from all players throughout the season. As first year travel team players, the girls developed some new-found skills, expanded their knowledge of the game and above all else, made some new friends and had a whole lot of fun on the diamond. Special thank-you goes out to team coaches: (U13) Josh Vansickle, Ed Allgood, Phil Emmott, (U11) Casandra Turnbull and Heather Dunlop
