10U & 12U Red All Stars Headed for Western Nationals

Both the 10U and 12U All Star teams from the Los Alamitos Girls Softball League were undefeated at the ASA "B" California State Tournament July 8-10th.  Taking home First Place trophies and having the prestigious honor of producing two winning teams from the same league, the 10U and 12U All Stars will now travel to Fresno for the Western Nationals.  The estimated cost to send each girl to the tournament is about $1,000.  In order to off-set costs, both teams will hold the following fundraising events:

Saturday, July 23rd: Garage Sale at 12561 Montecito Road (corner of Montecito & Tigertail)

Tuesday, July 26th:  California Pizza Kitchen Night (12171 Seal Beach Blvd, Seal Beach)
