The Jarvis Merchants, coming off a 4th place finish at the Canadian Senior championships in St Thomas and an 18th place finish in their first ISC World Tournament, are looking at making some noise on the Senior circuit again in 2006. With two years now under their belts, the Merchants are looking to add to their list of quality wins in 2005 that included a 1-0 win over Broken Bow in Woodstock, victories over the Hallman Twins and Innerkip Eagles to win their first Ontario Senior Eliminations championship, along with wins over Patsy’s at the World Tournament and Vancouver Grey Sox at the Canadian Nationals. To help take the next step, the Merchants have added Ryan Thompson to play shortstop and are bringing in coach Dan Donahue to provide a veteran presence for this young team. Andrew Phibbs, who will be attending the Canadian National team camp in May, returns for his third year and will split the work load with Scott Wagar during the season and Jamie Simpson on selected weekends. Adam Smith and Ryan Thompson reunite to anchor the middle of the Merchants infield, with the up-and-coming Matt Lyon on third and the tandem of Greg Courneyea and Adam Dearborn splitting time at first. Courneyea will also team with Allan Phibbs to manage the duties behind the dish. Bob Gillow, Dan Garmon and Chad Staats all return for their third year in the Merchants outfield and will be joined by Brian Roote, who joins the Merchants after spending the past two years with the Kitchener Hallman Twins. In the quest for a Canadian Championship, the Merchants will add Simpson, Ian Fehrman and Pat Graham to their line-up for the Ontario Eliminations and the Canadians in Prince George.
The Merchants roster and schedule is listed below:

“This team has been around for years. This is our 10th season, and, though we have seen few players come and go, the core has remained the same. This year we happen to see pretty much the same roster that took us to Nationals in College Station Texas three years ago. Wouldn’t it be great to see a repeat performance?”
From Al’s Fastball: Kegel Black Knights Sign last Pieces to the Puzzle
Fargo, ND Kegel Black Knights Sign last Pieces to the Puzzle. The Kegel Black Knights out of Fargo , ND would like to welcome Ward Gosse and Jim Harms to the Black Knights family. We believe the addition of these two players should put Kegel over the hump and make them very competitive every weekend out and also at the World tourney in Kitchener.

A preview of County Materials, of Marathon Wisconsin, the defending ISC World Champions:
From Al’s Fastball: 2006 County Materials Preview
Marathon, WI The 2005 ISC World Champions, County Materials of Marathon, WI., announce four roster additions as they prepare to defend their title in Kitchener in 2006. Nathan Nukunuku, Karl Gollan, Zenon Winters, and Jason Loe will wear the County Materials colors this season and will add speed and depth to an already powerful lineup. All four are representatives of their respective National Teams. Nukunuku has been a fixture at shortstop for the past several years while hitting at the top of the New Zealand lineup while Gollan was a member of the pitching staff of the 2004 World Champion Black Sox. Winters, who played last year for Calgary, was a valuable member of the 2004 bronze medal winning Australia squad, while Loe was the 2nd baseman and leadoff hitter for the USA Jr. Men’s National Team in last years ISF World Championship. 2006 County Materials Roster

The # 6 ranked Lumberkings are headed south from Bakersfield, to compete in this weekend’s So Cal ASA A/B league, meaning that half of Sledgehammer’s California Top 10 Teams will be in action in the same tournament:
# 6 – Bakersfield Lumberkings
# 7 – Rude Pac
# 8 – Long Beach Snakes
# 9 – Savala Rounders
#10 – Panteras
Here are the match-ups of ranked teams to watch for during Saturday’s round robin games:
8:00 a.m. – #7 Rude-Pac vs. #9 Savala Rounders
9:45 a.m. – #7 Rude-Pac vs. #10 Panteras (rematch of last week’s championship game)
3:00 p.m – #8 Long Beach Snakes (first action of the year) vs. #9 Savala Rounders
6:30 p.m. – #6 Bakersfield Lumberkings vs. #10 Panteras
Up, down and holding: The # 10 Panteras made their way into the Top 10 following their victory in the first league weekend tournament of the year, at Palm Springs, CA. #7 Rude Pac rose two spots from #9 on the strength of their runner-up finish to the Panteras; the Savala Rounders, minus a few key parts of their new roster, struggled at 1-4 to tumble three spots from #6 to #9, while the #6 Lumberkings and #8 Long Beach Snakes did not play and held their respective spots.
Outside Looking In: Three other teams notched wins over Top 10 ranked opponents but are as yet unranked:
Amigos (over #9 Savala Rounders)
San Diego Primetime (over #9 Savala Rounders)
Long Beach Black Sox (over #9 Savala Rounders, and #10 Panteras)

From the Fastpitchwest Forum, “Rumor Central”
2006 Rumor Central – March 27 California Top 10
After a much anticipated start to the season we found many good games and some new teams on the radar. Lets get right to it.
1. So Cal Bombers– Losing Potskin hurts but not enough to knock them off.
2. Team Rainey– This team will be battling for number one all year.
3. A-1 Tank– The real story here…Frye, Gaspar and Dodson. Three pitchers with rings. Frye won a “B” national and an “A” runner up and Gaspar and Dodson won NAFA A titles.
4. Taylor Farms– They’re loaded. Some say their bench will be too long but I dissagaree. Guzman seems to have something going here. With this team, a wedding or child’s birthday won’t kill em. They will just insert another proven player. Chemistry not an issue here.
5. River City Rockers– Other than Rainey and So Cal, this is the only top 5 team to have victories over several top level opponents.
