Division Winners!

The Romeoville Cubs win the Blue Division North in the Greater DuPage Bronco League (Division 2)! The final record was 14-3 with one rainout that wasn't played. So now it is off to the playoffs which start tomorrow. We are grouped within what is called the Division 1 Silver Group. What that means is that the best of the Division 2 kids play along side the worse of the Division 1 teams. We are in a pool of 4 teams (2 pools total). If we win the pool round, we play for the championship against the winner of the other pool of 4 teams on June 30th. It is quite exciting and we all can't wait until it starts. I think the kids are all ready. The big key for us, as coaches, is to keep the kids loose and not all tense with the pressure of winning. I have seen that a few times already with good teams losing because they feel pressured to win. Kids (like any players) then tend to try too hard and mistakes happen. I think that we do keep our kids loose and that they continue to have some fun. If we play good defense I think we will be unstoppable. I really believe that. Our hitting and pitching are real good. So, stay tuned for those updates!
