Some of our top stories of 2013 in local sports…
The Tri-Valley Little League 9-and 10-year-old girls’ softball team is the best in the state, after they won the state championship in July. The girls beat Crescenta Valley during the state play-offs, and then beat them again during the final round, for the state championship. The all-star team of 10 girls are undefeated, 9-and-0, in post-season play.
After years of planning and fund-raising, the Miracle Field in the Brehm Sports Park opened Memorial Day weekend in Yucca Valley. The field allows special-needs players to play sports safely.
