Murrieta Valley Girls Softball players take their All-Star seasons deep into the summer JP Raineri Sports Editor It’s has been a great summer for the Murrieta Valley Girls Softball Association as their All-Star teams, which have girls ranging in ages from 8 through 18, have all brought home some serious hardware in this post season. Three of the MVGSA Black teams, which include the 8U, 10U and 12U teams, even brought back an Eastern District Championship banner. Over this past weekend the 10U Black team played at the State Tournament and qualified for Nationals with their play. Congratulations to all the girls (and their coaches) for their hard work in the post season. Here are the rosters of the teams that took the post-season journey. 8U BLACK Manager Gabe Mendez Siitia Faoliu Kenzie-lyn Farrier Kaylee Fraund Jordan Harris Taylor Henning Dakoda Hobbs Taelyn Holley Angie Loyless Nichelle Mendez Samantha Morones Bella Tiburzio Briauna Van Emmerik 8U TEAL Manager Jim Jacques Amanda Aylward Reyna Cardoza Malia Cordova Daniella Flexen Jessica Gonzalez Vanessa Hawks Jaclyn Jacques Riley Lucas Ashleigh Pyle Madyson Tribble Trinity Tribble Graciela Zamora 10U BLACK Manager Mark Stringer

Local PONY All-Star Baseball teams still in the hunt JP Raineri Sports Editor
Lost to Temecula Blue, 15-12 Lost to Moreno Valley Red, 13-12 (Advanced as 3rd place team)
The local PONY Baseball organizations, which stands for “Protect our Nation’s Youth,” are one of the largest advocates for youth baseball and the Murrieta, Temecula, French Valley and Menifee leagues still have many teams fighting their way through the summer long AllStar tournament brackets in hopes of making it to the PONY World Series. In PONY, the teams are separated by colors for the most part, especially when some leagues may have two or three teams representing the same division and instead of trophies, the teams go all out to bring big Championship banners back to their leagues, which get proudly hung on the outfield fences for the up and coming teams to see for years to come. At the District level, the tournaments had to be won in order to qualify for the Regional tournaments that start in late July and for those that did not win, all teams moved on to the Sectional qualifiers that were held over the past two weeks. With the District and Sectional qualifiers over, it’s now win or go home for the remaining teams that all either won their perspective divisions, or were runners up at the Sectional qualifiers. Through the middle of July, Temecula has brought home the most Championships Banners for their league with seven so far, Menifee has brought home two, Murrieta has brought home four, and French Valley, who are the newest league to the area, have gotten on board bringing home their first two banners in the league’s history. The remaining teams are still in contention and have high hopes for World Series appearances as the summer progresses:
