Wow..  Time sure flies.  It seams like only yesterday when our 2009 Harris Black 13U Players went to Utah to represent Harris at the Babe Ruth World Series.  2009 proved to be another great year for the Harris Baseball and Softball program.  You can see why our program year in and year out produces some of the finest players in the area.  Here are a few highlights (If I missed a team - let me know):

HARRIS FINISHES 3RD AT THE WORLD SERIES
by posted 08/29/2009
 
HARRIS 13's
finish 3rd
at the WORLD SERIES

The Harris 13's finished their World Series run last night losing to a very tough team from Florida by a score of 10 - 15.  Harris fell behind 0-5 early allowing 3 runs in the bottom of the first and two more in the second.  As Harris has done all tournament, they fought back and took a 6-5 lead in the top of the forth by scoring 1 run in the third and 5 in the forth.  Florida regained the lead in the bottom of the forth scoring 2 runs.  Harris bounced right back to tie the game at 7 in the top of the fifth, but Florida again regained the lead 7-8 scoring 1 more run in the bottom of the fifth.  Harris tied the game up yet again at 8 - 8 in the top of the sixth inning.  The crowd at the BUNS was completely on the edge of theirs seats (if they were lucky enough to have a seat) with this excitement.   Florida put up 7 big runs in the bottom of the sixth inning making the score 8 - 15.  Harris showed that they were a team that had HEART and tried to pull off one last comeback.  We scored 2 runs, but came up short.  The final score was 10 - 15. 

HARRIS finished 3rd overall in the tournament.  This is an amazing accomplishment for the boys.  They should be proud of themselves (I know the Harris family is).  It was exciting to come out to the BUNS every game and see the overwhelming amount of support that the Harris family showed. 
WELCOMING THE BOYS HOME

The team is set to fly home tomorrow.  They should be arriving into Granger around 3:00 pm.  The fire department is planning on picking up their bus at the toll road entrance and escorting them down Brick Road enroute to the park.  It would be really cool if the Harris family could once again show these boys how proud we are of them and what they accomplished by by lining up and down Brick Rd to wave at them as they drive to the park and then come down to the park to welcome the boys home.

TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS


Coach Pitch - team 206 (15 - 1); finished 2nd in reg season
Single A - team 302 (16 - 0); finished 1st in reg season
Double A - team 1401 (15 - 1); finished 1st in reg season
Triple A - team 406 (5 - 12); finished last in reg season
13 - team 1304 (11 - 3 - 1); finished 1st in reg season
14/15 - team 504 (10 - 3 - 1); finished 2nd in reg season

This year's tournament was full of excitement, close games, upsets and a whole lot of fun.  

In the Coach Pitch league, the #1 and #2 seeds faced off in a very well played game that went into extra innings before it was decided by only 1 run 3-2.  Team 206 came away with the victory, avenging an earlier season loss to team 202 (which was their only loss on the season).  Congratulations team 206 on a great season.

Team 302 finished their undefeated Single A season off with a tournament championship.  This didn't come easy as they had to go into extra innings in the first round against the #8 seeded team to advance.  For those of you at that first round game, you got to see a very exciting game.  Congratulations team 302 on an undefeated season.

In Double A, Team 1401 finished the regular season with a 12-1 record earning them a #1 seed into the tournament.  They too had a challenge awaiting them in the first round of the tournament.  Everyone watching this game got to see a very exciting game.  The noise was soo loud I could hear the fans from the AAA field and I had to come over to see what was going on.  The #1 seed went into the bottom of the 6th inning losing by 1 run.  The fans on both sides were extremely excited and loving every second of the game.  The game came down to the last out, runners on 2nd and 3rd with the last batter in the line-up at the plate.  This young man rose to the occasion and roped a single down the right field line scoring both runs.  That was soo cool to see.  Congratulations team Team 1401.

Triple A was a Cinderella Story at it's best.  Team 406 finished the regular season in last place with a (1 - 12) record.  They had to win a "play-in"game in the morning on that first Saturday against the #8 seed for the right to face the #1 seed later that evening.  The game later that evening was won of the most exciting games I have watched.  The game went back and forth all evening and eventually went into extra innings before it was decided.  The game ended with the tying run in scoring position and an unbelieveable catch for the final out by the left fielder.  You would think the magic would have to run out at some point, but it didn't.  Their 3rd game was a see-saw battle until they broke the game open in the 5th with a 12 running inning.  This put them into the championship game against the #3 seed.  They opened the game up early and never looked back.  They averaged 15.75 runs per game during their tournament run with (12-0), (11-10), (21-9) and (19-11) victories.  WOW!!!!  Congratulations team 406, this was amazing and extremely fun to watch. 

Team 1304 ran away with both the regular season championship as well as the tournament championship.  They took an early lead in their championship game and never looked back.  Congratulations team 1304. 

Team 504 finished 2nd during the regular season and had the opportunity to face off against the #1 seed in the championship game.  They jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.  Congratulations team 504.

REGULAR SEASON CHAMPS

Coach Pitch - team 202 (12 - 0)
Single A - team 302 (13 - 0)
Double A - team 1401 (12 - 1)
Triple A - team 404 (12 - 2)
13 - team 1304 (9 - 3 - 1)
14/15 - team 503 (9 - 2 - 1)


Team 202 finished the Coach Pitch season undefeated in a league with 19 teams and some very good tallent.  We have 5 groups of boys that will be competing in summer tournaments around the area from this age group.  You have to have some tallent to be able to field that many All-Star caliber teams.  They faced off against the #2 team in the championship game and went extra innings before falling 2-3 in what certainly was a defensive battle.  Congratulations team 202 on a wonderful season.

Team 302 finished the Single A regular season undefeated, earning them a #1 seed into the tournament.  I had the pleasure of umpiring several of their games and it was easy to see that they were a well coached and tallented team.  Congratulations team 302.

Team 1401 finished the Double A regular season with only 1 loss earning them the #1 seed into the tournament.  This was a team filled with pitching and slugging power.  Congratulations team 1401.

In Triple A, Team 404 started the season off on a terror winning their first 11 games.  They were dominated by exceptional pitching and hitting.  Congratulations team 404.

Team 1304 finished the 13 year old regular season 9 - 3 - 1 earning them a #1 seed into the tournament, which they never looked back and ran through the tournament leaving no doubt who the best team was.  Congratulations team 1304.

Team 503 finished the 14/15 year old regular season with a 9 - 2 - 1 record earning them a #1 seed into the tournament.  This team consisted of solid pitching and hitting.  They made their way to the championship game only to finish a little short against the #2 seed.  Congratulations team 503 on a solid season.  Harris wishes the 15 year olds the best of luck in all their future endevors, and would like to thank them for their time at Harris.

HTJBSA - Working Concession - FAQ
by posted 05/30/2009
 
We have had a few questions come up when working concession stand at HTJBSA.  One in particular that needs some clarification is:

Question:  As a parent, can I have my child work for me when I am assigned concession stand duty?
Answer:  Yes, but we REQUIRE the child be no less than 16 years old.  If you have a child less than 16 years old work in your place for your concession stand duty, it will be deemed as if you did not work your scheduled slot and the risk of having your account assessed the $25.00 buyout fee.

If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask our Concession Stand Manager Patti Vavul.
