SPORTS

During my visit to the diamond last Friday, I had the chance to speak with some of these exciting, rising stars. Six-year-old Adalynn Clayton, a future Grade 1 student at Paris Central School, had a great season and really loved the opportunity to run the bases so often. Four-year-old Connor Gallagher tells me he is proud of his hitting and also enjoys time spent running the bases Overall, every player had smiles on their faces, which is surely the goal of all the volunteers in the dugouts and behind the scenes

There were three events held for the under 5 group.

1. The Home Run Derby, won by Team 4’s

Sawyer Vanmaanen.

2. Fastest Feet won by Team 1’s Quinn Lehman.

If you ask the kids who played in the U5 and U7 league, running the bases was an all-time favourite for many this season. Pictured above is the U7 teams in a group photo taken last weekend. Special thank-you goes out to all the U7 coaches this season: Chris Shearim, Matt Peirce, Jim Anderson, Alex Stewart, Brady Curtis and Becky Fletcher. Thank-you for your dedication and creating great memories for all the players.
