After getting knocked out in last years playoffs, the Basha Bears were back in the hunt for another State Championship this year… its 3rd time in the last 4 seasons. Although the Bears got off to an early lead of 3-0, the lions made a tremendous comeback to take the lead in the 4th and was able to hold Basha to just one more run ending the game at 5-4 for Red Mountains 2nd championship title two years running. With the Lions 2010/2011 back to back titles coupled with the Bears own in 2008/2009 not to mention a State Runner-up for each, what we have here folks is truly a high school Dynasty with every 5A-I school looking to knock them out. Knowing that Basha will have 5 returning players as seniors next season and a bunch of (now) seasoned Frosh and Soph’s, uhm… yeah.

Anyhow, thanks for yet another exciting Championship game ladies and congratulations to both teams for well earned titles.

So as Desert Ice Fastpitch moves up in age groups, this Club team made up of mainly HS Varsity girls from different east valley schools test their skills against an 8 time NJCAA State Championship Program thats in the midst of rebuilding with 11 Freshmen. You’d never know it though as PC takes both games with solid defense and consistent deep fly balls with one of them finding its way over the wall. Desert Ice played solid ‘D’ but had a hard time finding the gaps against these PC pitchers.

Highland Hawks Senior #16 Chelsea Rodriguez and Sophomore Savannah Panell both hit over the fence HR’s today in a 9-0 win over the defending state champs Basha Bears dropping them into the lower Pool B bracket making for tough road back to the State Finals and a chance of a three-peat…

Desert Ice Fastpitch entered this California College Showcase event and went 4-1 in their Pool. Nice showing for their 2nd event with this organization with the hopes to earn some respect and a better bracket for more College Recruiter exposure. Desert Ice was without their starting SS and one of their main Catchers both of which bring solid defense and a big stick to any event. Not bad for being undermanned.
