The 2009 Almaden Lightning 10U "B" team had a great summer playing all over Northern California and bonding as a team during several overnight trips.  The Highlight of our summer was our 3rd place finish during our overnight trip to the South Lake Tahoe ASA Girls' Tournament.  Also, the team qualified for the 2009 ASA Western Nationals by virtue of our finish in the ASA NorCal Regional Championships!  Though we were unable to attend the Western Nationals in Salem, Oregon due to many players being unavailable to travel, simply qualifying was quite an honor. 
 
The 10U Lightning "B" team had just 5 girls in their 2nd season of 10U softball, and only 4 of those had previous 10U summer experience.  While we will miss our team leaders and wish them well as they move to 12U competition, this bodes well for our 2010 10U summer team.  Another 7 girls return for a 2nd chance at 10U summer softball and will be one year older, wiser, and more experienced than many of the other teams that we saw this summer and will see again next summer.  We intend to qualify again for Western Nationals and this time to go and to represent Almaden with class and pride.
