THIS weekend saw the 13 to 19-year-old state school boys titles held in Redlands and Noosa were represented by Riley Murrihy and Lewis Schefe in the President’s team.
They did not let the side down as their team went all the way through undefeated and also took out the grand final on Sunday 7-1 against Metropolitan West to be crowned State Champions.
Both boys contributed with Riley hitting the first home run of the tournament and Lewis following with the second in the opening match Riley went on to bat at 666 and had a on base percentage of 800 while Lewis was about 500 for both, Lewis also hit a second home run.
As the school system encourages all players to take part they used Louis as DH in a few games while Riley played short stop and third base.
It’s a great achievement for the boys and we look forward to next year when the Sunshine Coast team has its own entity in this competition.
While all this was going on there were a few Noosa softball members who have played away from Noosa this year travelling to Brisbane each week to a bigger competition.
This weekend was grand final day in which Luke Thomas won the A Grade grand final and saw his home run hit in a cracking game against PCYC which Riley played in.
Riley also played in the under-15 grand final and the B Grade men’s team grand final in which he won the 15s and was runner-up in the men’s.
Lewis and Shinai were runners-up in the 17s last week.
Sheena won the women’s B2 final with Focus which meant that Noosa players collected three grand final wins, three runners up and a schoolboys’ state championship.
To top the weekend off, Riley was named best under-15 player in the association a great effort to top off his year so far.
