CANES LOOKING TO BUILD ON CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE

Leave a comment

CHARLOTTE (NC) — Enjoy the moment but focus on the future, because the work never stops.

In many ways, that was the message delivered to the Canes Carolina team following its championship game appearance two weeks ago. It was a feel-good moment for the team’s players and coaches, but the celebration gave way to work as another tough tournament challenge awaits in this weekend’s Perfect Game Youth Showcase Invitational.

The Perfect Game field features 16 top 11U teams from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio, headlined by a pair of teams appearing in Perfect Game’s national rankings, Charlotte’s SBA Bolts National (5th) and Dublin, Ohio’s Hit Dogs (41st).

Canes Carolina will begin tomorrow’s pool play in the same way it began its most recent tournament outing, facing Dirtbags Black (Cornelius, NC) at 9 am at George Poston Park in Gastonia. Canes lost 3-1 in that matchup a fortnight ago.

Canes Carolina will then square off against their organizational brothers, Canes Land (Raleigh, NC) at 12:50 pm. It will be the first meeting between the teams this season.

The balance of the Perfect Game 11U field is as follows:

Canes SC-864 (Duncan, SC)

Carolina Clippers (Richfield, NC)

Carolina Express (Charlotte, NC)

Carolina Swagg (Travelers Rest, SC)

Elite Diamond Dawgs Red (Simpsonville, SC)

Hayseeds 11U (Lugoff-Elgin, SC)

Makos Red (Morehead City, NC)

SBA North Prospects (Rockwell, NC)

SBA North Stars (Mooresville, NC)

South Charlotte Panthers Marucci (Charlotte, NC)

Wilmington Seahawks (Wilmington, NC)
