President's Day Tourney Recap

The Crawdads ran into some tough competition in the CFSA President’s Day Tournament over the weekend. Amazingly, the weather cleared out and Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day. The Crawdads finished 1-3 and took 8th place. The boys showed some pop at the plate at times over the weekend with some big hits including Grant's 2 run blast against the Banditos.

Saturday’s Results
The first draw on Saturday was against the powerhouse and eventual tourney winner, The Banditos Black. The Banditos defeated the Crawdads 18-5 in pool play. Then in the second game of pool play, the Barracudas bested the Crawdads in the second game 12-4.

Sunday’s Results
Sunday elimination games began for the 10^th seeded Crawdads vs the 7^th seeded Humble Bulldogs. The sun came out and so did the Crawdads’ bats and defense as the boys held the Bulldogs scoreless 13-0.

The Crawdads then moved on to face the 2^nd seeded Houston Wranglers. The first two innings were close. Then, the Wranglers pulled out in front with a big 3rd inning. The Crawdads had a potential big inning end with bases loaded and a hard shot down the left field line by Chris being hauled in by the left fielder. The Wranglers proved to be too tough today and came out on top 11-3.

The tourney was hopefully a good primer for the CFSA regular season which kicks off Wednesday, Feb 20^th at 6pm vs The Houston Angels.

'08 Season Kickoff

The Crawdads added 3 new players to the roster for the Spring 2008 season; Dylan Felt, Jake Henley and Chris Alfaro. These boys and their families have already shown to be great additions to the Crawdads Organization. We are very happy to have you all on the team!

The Crawdads held a kickoff meeting/ lunch at Husky’s on January 5^th. It was a great start to the season and a chance for everyone to get on the same page. The coaches outlined plans and expectations for the upcoming season.

The boys and the coaches have been working hard to prepare as the ’08 season opener is less than a month away. The Crawdads are classified as an 8U Major Team and will be playing league in the Cy-Fair 8U Open Division. League play is scheduled to open the week of February 18^th.

Also, our first tournament of the year will be held over the President’s Day weekend at Cy-Fair. The CFSA President’s Day Tourney is very well attended and looks like we will see some very strong competition. Click here for teams entered in our division for this tourney.
