Huntsville Men's Tournament
July 7, 2010
Huntsville, ON
One of the longest running men's fastball tournament gets underway this coming Friday July the 9th . It’s the classic 36th Annual Huntsville Men's Fastball Tournament . Through the years many a famous pitchers have appeared here such as hall of famer Darren Zach of Garden River and Mike Crawford from the Muscoka area .This year there will be 22 competitive teams with just two champions from last year returning that of the Simcoe Lightning Old Boys (2009 B champions ) and Waterdown Targets from Niagara Falls as 2009 D champions . Simcoe Lightning brings in a second team this year- a younger crew . Familiar returnees' will be Tazco Fastball (formerly Cool Hand Lukes) from Niagara Falls , Etobicoke Royals , Brechan , Stouville ,Vdney Bullets , Rama Braves and from the North the J.C. North Stars of Greater Sudbury . Newcomers in 2010 include Whitefish Steelers ,Patrry Island Hawks , Magnatewan Native Sons and Boston Pizza from North Bay . All teams will play 3 preliminary round games on Friday and Saturday . Following the opening first round 33 games , all participants will be seeded and top 16 will advance to the playoff rounds starting Sunday morning . The top four seeded teams battle for the "A" crown and so on .
Come Sunday night , I'll be reporting on all the tournament results including the four divisional champions and some tournament photos as well as the four tournament team championship photos.
Attached you'll find the complete first round (preliminary games) full 33 game schedule .
If I was a betting man here are the teams I'd be looking at to make some noise on the weekend :Tazco Fastball , Lake Simcoe Old Boys ,River Dawgs , Etobicoke Royals and the J.C. North Stars . I will go out on a limb and suggest that Lake Simcoe Old Boys will take the "A" crown come Sunday afternoon . Other teams may prove me wrong .
Yours in fastball ,
