2009 - 12U Hawks Team

Special thanks to Robert Brown for the photos and history of this very special team. For more, please see Mr.Brown's 2009 Blog  http://hawksball.blogspot.com/
 - PHBA Condors- 07 - 10 U USSSA Major World Series finalists - 2nd place in Western US

 - PHBA Condors - 07 - 10U AAA Tournament win (first time PHBA entered and won a tournament from what I understand)

 - PH Hawks 09 -  Cooperstown 8th place (out of 105).  Highest placement in PHBA history

The team never stopped playing some kind of ball.  Practices never really ended, coaches just stopped and the boys continued playing until parents pulled them off the field.  It was a unique group of boys.  When the Condors played in the USSSA World Series - it was the first time playing against real travel teams.  Teams from Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, California.  When the Condors started beating these travel teams at the tournament you could hear coaches/parents from the other teams wondering who this team from Pleasant Hill was and why nobody heard of them.  For a local rec team to do this well was a shock to the travel ball group.  That’s what the boys usually did.  From 8U on up they were usually the team nobody heard about but the team typically found its way into the Championships of tournaments.  When they hit high school (College Park) - Jefferey Mitchell, Joe DeMers, and Chris Brown went straight to Varsity.  The rest went to JV, by-passing freshmen team.  Their sophomore year in high school all of the boys were on Varsity. The team made it to the semi-finals of the North Coast Sectionals.  Their junior year all the boys were starting on Varsity and went undefeated in their league and won College Parks 2nd NCS Championship in school history.  They were honored as State Team of the Year.  The boys were back for their senior year and won league again as well as their 2nd NCS Championship and declared State Champions.
In the summer while the boys were in high school you could always find them at the CP field if they were not in a tournament.  They just hung out down there.  When they came home from college they still went straight to the field.  The CP high school coach is still in touch with all of the boys.
