Yea, that is right! My baseball team actually became AAA Bantam Provincial champions! I don't know how we really made it to the finals but we did and then we beat probably the best team in Manitoba! It was so fun and intense! I won't bother going into details about anything because I am on limited time here and I do not want ot write for 30 minutes.
What Provincials are is that the best teams from your province all gather up for like one big tournament. But this year all the teams in the province that are AAA Bantam (ages 14-15) were able to get into this tournament. This year there were 13 teams that entered and there were only two rewards given out to the two finalist teams (bronze medals to third place team). The winners get to go to Nationals in Windsor, Ontario this year and get to play the best teams from the other 9 provinces. The second place finishers get to go to Westerns which is just involves Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. This year the Westerns are being held in Spruce Grove, Alberta this year.
So really, going to Nationals is really insane! I already know what it is like because last year in May I got to go to Vancouver, BC for Nationals for bowling (yes, I bowl). And for bowling it operates pretty much the same way except with more teams to compete against than baseball. So we won Nationals for bowling and you get banners, medals, ribbons, flowers, get put into books and all that kind of stuff in front of a couple thousand people.
The best people from the country (Canada) are all going to be there and there will be tons of scouts there looking for players to give scholarships to and big stuff like that! I really can't wait because we only won yesterday and we had a party at our coach's house and the parents and players at a time discussed a ton of stuff! Most of the parents won't go so it will just be mostly the players and coaches. We are leaving I believe on the 21st and get back on the 28th. We also get to pick-up up to 4 people from the other teams who did not make it to the finals, so that should be fun as for there are quite a few huge and big people we could pick up just for pitching type of thing. We get to fly out there and almost everything is paid for us! And for bonus, since we are right before the US border (right above Detroit) we are all going to pay $25 to get bused down to Detroit and watch Chicago White Sox @ Detroit play each other! And for me, that is really big because I have never been to a Major League game before! I have only watched probably about 250 (if not more) games on TV. So me to actually see the players I have watched for years on TV to become reality for me is so damn cool!
And that is all for now I will write about this, and if anyone is curious about anything, just ask!
