Panthers Baseball Travel Team Hit Home Run

Published January 24th 2008

The 11 and Under Panthers Baseball Travel Team posted an incredible 37-9 record for the fall season and won two major tournaments in the process- the Great 8 Invitation Only Tournament in Orlando and the Christmas Bash in Hialeah. In addition, the Panthers were 7-0 in AAU League play and 10-2 in Florida Premier League play. In the Hialeah Christmas Bash hosted by the Miami Dynasty Elite, the Panthers went 5-0 and defeated the highly ranked West Pines Cobras in the final. In October, the Panthers captured the Great 8 Championship in Orlando. This Invitation Only Tournament hosted by the Florida Fire featured four of the top teams from South Florida and four of the top teams from Central Florida. This talented group practiced hard, played hard and was very disciplined. The proud coaching staff consists of Manager Greg Ernewein and Coaches Dean Brundage, Dave Carroll, and Kevin Conn. The boys will now get a couple of weeks off and then get right back at to practicing because the 2008 Spring Season is right around the corner.
