2008 All Star Extravaganza!! Saturday, June 14th at the Arcata Sports Complex

On Saturday, June 14th we mark the end of our 2008 Spring Softball Season with an All-Star Extavaganza at the Arcata Sports Complex.

First pitches will be thrown at 10:00 am.

On the North Field, you’ll find the 16 & Under Tournament Championship game featuring our most experienced Mad River players and some of the finest pitching, hitting, and fielding this side of the Pecos.

On the South Field, the 10 & Under All Stars challenge themselves to an intraleague game highlighting some our league's best young talent.

At noon, the 12 & Under Division treats their 2008 All Stars to a host of fun activities and softball challenges.

We finish the day at 2 pm with Mad River's 16 & Under All Stars taking on the All Stars from our partners and rivals in the Cutten-Ridgewood softball program.

And, the Snack Shack is open all day!

Following the final out of the final game, coaches and families are invited to stick around for a quick coaches meeting and equipment/uniform return and a thank you BBQ.

Congratulations to our 2008 Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball ALL STARS!

Congratulations to our 2008 League & Tournament champions!!

We have had a wonderful (and rain-free for a change!) spring softball season here in northern Humboldt County. All of our teams, regardless of their final records, have played like champions, learned a tremendous amount about the game and about teamwork, and hopefully made some great friends along the way.

We'd like to take just a moment and congratulate our 2008 Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball Association's Season and Tournament Champions.

In the 10 and Under Division, our season champions (best record at the end of the season) are the Fog, coached by Mike Rice and sponsored by Hank's Coffeehouse.

The 10 & Under Tournament winners this season are the Swinging Monkeys, coached by Rob Flint and sponsored by Alves, Inc.

In the 12 & Under Division, the Black Widows, sponsored by Soroptimist International, and coached by Melissa and Willie Ward, captured both the the regular season championship and the tournament championship!

The 16 & Under Division's regular season was won by Evergreen Pulp's Donkers, coached by Jeff Denny. The Donkers also won the tournament championship game for the 16 & Under division capping a 14-0 season.

Congratulations to all our outstanding softball players and teams on a successful and wildly fun 2008 softball season!
