Enlarge Photo Fillmore’s California United’s 2016 Team emerged victorious at the Tournament of Champions this weekend, overcoming LAFC Red in a nail-biting 2-1 championship game victory at the Conejo Creek soccer fields hosted by the Oaks FC. Throughout the tournament, California United displayed their dominance, beginning with an astonishing 20-0 victory against Cal Elite, followed by a 4-1 win over ECFC Salinas, and a 12-0 triumph against Oaks FC in pool play. These impressive results set the stage for a dramatic championship showdown. In the title match, LAFC Red initially took the lead, putting pressure on California United. However, the resilience of the young squad was on full display as they fought back, leveling the score and eventually taking the lead thanks to Rex Masterson’s crucial goals. Masterson, who has been a standout player throughout the tournament, scored both the equalizer and the decisive go-ahead goal, bringing his tournament tally to an impressive 10 goals. California United’s goalkeeper, Kevin Ponce, also had a notable tournament, contributing not only with his skills between the posts but also by scoring a rare goal himself. The team’s offensive firepower was further highlighted by contributions from Neymar Alcaraz (6 goals), JJ Garcia (7), Jayden Escoto (4), Andres Martinez (4), Gera Alvarado (2), and single-goal scorers Mycah Castro, Noah Lira, Roman Garibay, and Allen Arriaga.

 A big thank you to the League’s Umpire in Chief, Isaac Becerra. He umpires not only 2-3 games on Saturdays; he also coaches two teams during the week. Umpires are often the forgotten about Thank You. They take a lot of heat from spectators, remain cool under pressure, and are there for the kids. After having the wonderful job of officiating youth sports, I feel called to remind people of that. They are making the best call they can under a lot of pressure. It’s not for the faint of heart. None of these guys are trying to make bad calls to any team’s advantage or to show favoritism. This is something I know to be true as I have rooted for kids in my head from both sides while officiating. This is a small town, we know kids, friends and family all over youth sports. Let’s have a heart for the umpires’ hard work. I personally would never want to wear that get-up in the Fillmore sun! Way to go, Isaac and the Umpire team. Thanks for everything you do! It does not go unnoticed. Photo/article courtesy Brandy Hollis. Enlarge Photo |

Why does it seem like baseball season is never long enough? Blink and it’s fall again. As things come to a close for the little guys… things are heating up across the board going into playoffs. Wild cards are gearing up to surprise everyone and everyone loves an underdog. Those teams that stay ready for action work on keeping their game-face ready to conquer again! Everyone wants to win, but there is only ever one team who will advance on. It’s always hard for little hearts, but even in baseball, some of life’s hardest lessons are taught early in palatable ways. Thankfully we always have next season, and all the time in off-season working on your game will pay off next year. With the season slowing down, this week we have two Players of the Week—no division to be left out (please know that the coaches prepare a little information about each player and that makes these little articles a tad more special). Karisa Fregoso’s coach said, “Karisa’s continued improvement throughout the season comes from the fact that she treats her practice time just as importantly as any game time she gets to be a part of. Her poise and dominant demeanor are aided by the fact that her basemen and outfielders constantly have her back no matter what the game throws their way. This Saturday’s playoff game was nothing short of the amazing effort she’s always putting into herself and her team. Karisa continues to be the hard working, tough as nails baseball player that her teammates look up to!” Folks, it’s been a crazy week. I have seen IG posts all over and love them all! This week has been a busy one. Keep tagging FLL, and please follow the league on social media for awesome pictures and the kids’ battling it out for rights to be #1. |

Things are getting good here for Fillmore baseball. One of the best indicators of quality coaching and a good baseball program is the development of all players. The program is run by volunteers, and Ruben Venegas from Santa Paula came in to pinch umpire for Fillmore. Santa Clara Valley staying united in smalltown, hometown baseball! And Drum Roll Please…PLAYER OF THE WEEK Aiden Arias from Yankees Intermediates is a team player and proved it time and again on Saturday when he showed his dominance on the mound and held the opposing team. His defense had his back and kept up the positive drive, not giving up on the mound. A special shout-out to Roman Cervantes from Angels, who is having quite the year and wow it’s something to watch. His first homerun was Saturday and the smile on that kid’s face as he rounded the bases was priceless. Every single game, he is progressing more and more. The click button has been activated. Everyone’s click button is being activated on this team. Don’t forget to thank Rob Lemons from Lemon Tree Embroidery for the Dingers hat, a much sought out prize by all the players. My son is swinging as hard as can for one and its great motivation! Good job Rob and thanks for announcing--you belong on the radio my friend. Well, that’s all for this week. Remember your sunscreen and water—it’s getting hot out there! |

Dinger hats are still being awarded from Lemon Tree Embroidery as the kids grow as players with the season moving forward. Thank you, Rob Lemons, you are appreciated. Extra special shout out to the Minor B Yankees team; they sent a care package to their opposing team player on the Angels who got a bad hit by a pitch that broke his nose. What a class act, and great sportsmanship shown by the Yankees team. |

It was another great week for Fillmore Little League (FLL) despite the rain. New home runs got added to the Dingers Club and they received a Dingers hat from Lemon Tree Embroidery to celebrate their accomplishments. Coach Gabe had this to say, “Jaxson is our little leader, he consistently works hard and leads by example. Jaxson shows up to practice with a great attitude towards coaches and teammates and won’t hesitate to remind others to pay attention. This last week I had a player that wanted to play 1st base, Jaxson without hesitation gave up his position, caught a pop fly at shortstop and made a triple play! He also went 3-3 at bat including a triple.” Way to go Jaxson, way to be a positive leader! Thanks for some great baseball and outstanding leadership. Well folks, that’s this week’s baseball highlights. Remember your coaches and umpires are volunteering their time, and doing their best! I encourage everyone to be of some sort of service to our community. It takes the community to keep these programs running. Let’s keep being the best little small town out there! Make sure to tag Fillmore Little League Baseball so your picture can make it into next week’s article. |
