CVLL 8u All-Stars
Our Athletes of the Week are the Castro Valley Little League 8u All-Stars. The team won the annual Jerry Barry Memorial Tournament on June 24 in Hayward at Tennyson American Little League fields. The tournament was a week-long double-elimination tournament that started on June 17. Castro Valley's first opponent was Union City National, which CV defeated 18-8. CV's second game on June 22 saw the All-Stars defeat Mt Eden by a score of 11-5. The final game was a rematch against Union City.
“This was a close game in the beginning, but the boys battled back to win 10-4,” says Manager Kenny Baguio. “We are so proud of these boys and all the hard work they’ve put in to win this tournament.”
