Two North Escambia Softball Teams Playing For State Titles This Weekend
July 24, 2009
Two North Escambia softball teams are playing for state championships this weekend. The 10-11 year old Tri County All Stars will be playing near Orlando, and the 11-12 year old Northwest Escambia All-Stars will be playing near Fort Lauderdale.
We will have complete coverage of the games during the weekend here on NorthEscambia.com.
Tri-County All-Stars
The 10-11 year old Tri-County All-Stars will be in Orlando this weekend, hoping to return with a state championship.
Tri-County’s first game will be at 9:00 Saturday morning against Mt. Dora, and they will face South Tampa at 1:00 Saturday afternoon. Semi-final games are on Sunday, and the state championship game will be played Monday morning.
The tournament is in Windermere, Florida, just outside Orlando.
Tri-County won the 10-11 Year Old Florida District 1 Softball Championship with a 16-0 shutout over Defuniak Springs back on June 30.
Team members are Dana Blackmon, Samatha Steadham, Kennedy Salter, Michaela Stewart, Morgan Kelley, Cheyanne Merchant, Destiny Herring, Brianna Pearson, Harley Tagert, Kim Gunn and Emily Ashworth. Manager is Kathy Blackmon and the coach is Jeff Gunn.
NWE All-Stars
Northwest Escambia will travel about 650 miles to the state championship tournament in Coconut Creek, Fla., which is just north of Fort Lauderdale.
NWE’s first game in the 11-12 Year Old State Tournament will be Friday night at 7:00 (EDT). They will play again Saturday morning at 10:00 (EDT).
Northwest Escambia earned their trip to the state tournament last weekend in Destin by claiming the Section 1 title.
NWE beat Chairs-Capitola 3-2 in the first game of the tourney. Mallory Ryan pitched six, striking out two and giving up just two walks. Reagan Bell scored one for Northwest Escambia, and Madison Arrington added a couple. Arrington had an impressive in-park home run for NWE. Northwest Escambia took game two of the series for the championship, 10-0.
