The Regina, Saskatchewan Century 21 Angels start their 2005 season going 14-7 with only 2 loses coming in tournament play.<\/p>\n
Team Century is back after being invited to Fargo for the ISC II Tournament of Champions where they were disappointed with their round robin record and failure to make playoffs. Early in this season Team Century also had to deal with the departure of some players but none the less they were able to put together a team of close friends and family that is stronger all around than last years club.<\/p>\n
After not making the initial rankings for ISC II teams, Team Century entered the ISC II Canada West Qualifier in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba with something to prove. Without its full line-up Team Century was able to win the tournament with a 5-1 record beating teams such as Portage Phillies (ranked #31 in July 2004) and Devils Lake Risers (ranked #42 in 2005 preseason). <\/p>\n
In the semi-final game Team Century beat the 4 time defending champions of the Progress for Portage Tournament \/ ISC II Area Qualifier (the last few years), the Gladstone Whips (currently ranked #4 in ISC II and last year finished 4th in the ISC II TofC) with a score of 6-2.<\/p>\n
Team Century outscored opponents 37-17 and tournament awards handed out after the final included: Jay Kay \u2013 Top Pitcher and Tony Sparvier \u2013 MVP.<\/p>\n
The roster for Team Century at Portage was:
\nLeroy Keewatin \u2013 Pitcher (Peepeekisis First Nation)
\nJay Kay \u2013 Pitcher\/Outfield (Kawakatoose First Nation)
\nTony Sparvier \u2013 Pitcher\/Infield\/Outfield (Ochapowace First Nation)
\nBarry (B.L.) Sparvier \u2013 Catcher\/Infield\/Outfield (Cowessess First Nation)
\nJess Stevenson \u2013 Catcher\/Infield\/Outfield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
\nRob Stevenson Jr. \u2013 Catcher\/Infield\/Outfield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
\nFletcher Stevenson \u2013 Infield\/Outfield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
\nNathan Stevenson \u2013 Outfield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
\nShane Quewezance \u2013 Infield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
\nJason Bear \u2013 Catcher\/Infield (Ochapowace First Nation)
\nChris Bear \u2013 Infield\/Outfield (Ochapowace First Nation)
\nAnthony Poitras \u2013 Infield\/Outfield (Peepeekisis First Nation)
\nMelvin Asaigon \u2013 Infield (Cowessess First Nation)
\nArlen Yuzicappi \u2013 Outfield (Standing Buffalo First Nation)<\/p>\n
I would like to thank Ferdi Nelissen for running another first class tournament and I would also like to thank the volunteers and community of Portage La Prairie for being great hosts. Team Century looks forward to representing Canada West in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
