Thanks to all who participated in the 2011 Apple Cup Junior league. All those involved should be commended for their patience and professionalism as we endured an extremely wet fall season.

Fortunately championship day at Heritage High School was dry; there was even a sun sighting or two. Mound Time 1 won game 1 by a slim margin, earning them the fourth seed in the tournament, matching them up against rival Mound Time 4.
