Our 11-year-old SIlverbacks teamed up with the Venom's 11-year-olds to create the High Desert "B" All-Star team.  Going in as the "B" team, we didn't have much expected from us.  The boys earned struggled a bit in the District round, held in Hemet on June 23-26, when they defeated Perris (12-1), then lost to Hemet in a 9-inning battle (15-6), and got knocked out of the championship by Corona (10-4).  Hemet went on to become District Champions, and all other teams returned the next week for Sectionals.

But everything looked up for our High Desert "B" boys in the Sectional Tournament in Hemet on June 30-July 5.  First, the boys got their revenge on Corona (4-3), then defeated Morena Valley (9-7) to go to the championship game against Perris.  Although they lost the first game (7-2), the boys showed up to play in the final game and won 7-1 for the Championship.  A highlight of the game was a solo homerun by Erick Olivares.

The team advanced to Regional play in Murrieta on July 7-11 as the last High Desert 11-U All Star team still in the running (High Desert "A" was eliminated at the sectional tournament).  The brackets put them up against teams that had earned the previous week off and were favorites in the tournament.  In their first game, they lost a close one to Chino Hills (5-4).  They were eliminated by Hemet in another close game (5-2) where the tying run was at the plate in the final pitch of the game.  


All in all, our High Desert team was a great group of talented players -- they had a good run of it and exceeded expectations!  Congratulations on a productive All-Star Season!
