Coach Maddy Stark's 16U Shockwave won the B bracket championship in their division at the 19th Annual Woodstock Recreation Heatwave Softball Tournament held at Bates Park in Woodstock on July 9 and 10, 2016. The team went 1-2 in pool play, winning against the Northern Illinois Lightning (6-5) and dropping hard-fought battles against Crystal Lake Slam (5-4) and McHenry Jr. Warriors (7-2). Their seeding earned them a buy when elimination play began Sunday morning, and the team went straight to the semi-finals for a noon game against Huntley Red Raiders. Both teams battled hard for the right to advance to the championships, but Shockwave prevailed with a 2-1 victory. The championship game pitted Shockwave against Warren Wave and Coach Maddy's team took that game with a score of 11-1.
