                                                NO WINS  BUT
FULFILLING EXPERIENCE!!!
 
                                                            
   On the weekend of August 22nd to 24th three young fastpitch
teams of ladies headed to Southern Ontario for the provincials
in Novice ,Bantam and Midget . None of the three teams came away
with victories but certainly gained a tonne of experience and
thoroughly enjoyed themselves and also gained new friends along
the way.This is the second year that the Greater City of Sudbury
sends teams down South to participate in provincials. For these
first two years its been at the house league level but Micky
Chartrand expects to bring up the teams in the competitive section
for 2009.
                                                            
    In the Novice division(ages 13 and 14) played out of Burlington
the Sudbury squad called the Cambrian Novice Dragons
came away with 1 tie and two losses.In the opener they played
to 3-3 against Vaughn where Cammi Bergeron pitched a three hitter-the
team as a whole played great defense.In their second match they
were in tough against Orleans near Ottawa losing 8-3.Jessica
Honse pitched well in a losing cause Sherri Lalonde and Jessica
Honse each had two hits.In their third and last game Etobicoke
won 7-2 (this team eventually won the silver medal).The Dragons
had only one bad inning where they gave up 4 runs to the silver
medalists.Its important to mention that young Jayde Jarvis (only
12 years old) caught all three games.Members of the Dragons other
than those already mentioned are : Isabelle Giroux,Gabby Potvin,Sherry
Lalonde,Jennifer Lamb,Patricia Brennan,Maxi Desilier and Margie
Tellier. The coach was Micky Chartrand and the manager John Honse.
The medalits in this division out of Burlington were Brampton-Gold;Etobicoke-Silver
and Whitby Lightning-Bronze.twelve teams from across the province
took part in the Novice division and that were placed in three
pools of four teams for the preliminary round.there are attached
photos from this Novice division-all from the Dragons.
                                                            
   In the Bantam division (15 and 16 year old) the Sudbury Select
team also did not register one victory in Newmarket Ontario.
In the opener  Seaway Selects shut down the Sudbury girls 10-0
where Chloe Ilnitski went the distance for Sudbury.seaway eventually
took the Gold medal.Chatam trounced Sudbury 20-4 in the second
match and the girls held their own in losing 17-9 to Brantford
in their final contest. The girls were happy with their tournament
and gained a lot of experience . The other members of the team
were : Holly Rainsberry ,Tella Arseneau,Jennifer Roy,Karly Milne,
Emma Meunier,Meghan Landriault,Maxime Mayotte,April McCullagh
and Lauren Page. They were coached by Bob Rainsberry , Jesse
St Cyr and Ghislain Mayotte.Sixteen teams were part of he Bantam
division seperated into four pools of four teams.
                                                            
     In the midget division(ages 17 and up) played out of Guelph
the Sudbury squad called Sudbury AutoBuff/Lopes Mechanical did
not win any of their four games ..They held their own in the
first two losses but were mercied in the final two falling behind
seven runs after five innings. Jill Zinn pitched well and hit
one home run during the weekend as well as Tiffany Martin hitting
a home run.The other members of the team were Danielle Hrechka,Danielle
Marier,Donna McLaughlin,Brogan Roy,Maxime Rainville,Cassandra
McGrath,Dominique Potvin,Tracy Smith and Kelly Carmichael. They
were coached by Dan Marier. There were thirteen teams in the
midgets seperated into three pools for the preliminary round.
                                                            
      
                Our hats are off to these young ladies who made
a good account of themselves and certainly were great ambassadors
of fastball for the Greater City of Sudbury.
