Former Red Bluff Spartans starting as Knights
By DAVID ZIMMERLE-DN Sports Editor
 |
Whether its on the mound, behind the plate, or in the outfield, Shasta College's 2009 baseball team will have three big ties to Red Bluff.
Former Red Bluff Union High School graduates Brandon Koch (P),
Andrew Lish (RF) and Simon Villalvazo (C) will be in the
starting lineup for the Knights this season and each value their
unique situation for a reason.
To be able to do this as three former players from Red Bluff
feels good because we are from such a small town. There s a lot
of good competition from some of the other guys on the team that
are either out of the area, or from another state, so, for us,
this is just great...[read

The 2008 season is starting off with some great news. Until
today only the Bulls and the JR. Bulls were to open the season this
weekend with tournaments. As of today, the Toros are now going
to be playing in the Chico Memorial Day Tournament as an opening
became available, frankly I think it is because they heard how good
the Toros are :) This is the same tournament that the
JR. Bulls are in. Now we will have all three teams playing this
weekend! The best of luck to all three teams this weekend, most
of all HAVE FUN!!

Red Bluff American Legion Baseball Club kicked off the 2008
season with a club pot luck dinner and inter-club games last
night. By all accounts the food was great and the games were
fun. New friendships were acquired and old ones renewed. It was exciting
(for me anyway) to see a club milestone reached when our first ever
third team was added this year and to see all three teams in the group
picture session was to say the least confirmation of our progress this
year. This will become an
annual event for our club. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THREE TEAMS THIS
SEASON!!

The Spartans lose 14-0 to PV tonight - ouch. Unfortunately
the Spartans attack was off tonight and its pitching was not
able to slow down PV. The Spartans having used pitching earlier
in the week and with its two Senior pitchers injured there wasn't much
experience left for the duties on the mound. They started with
their Sophomore pitcher EJ Stanton and he was soon relieved by Junior pitcher
Ben Redfield, who also pitched earlier in the week. The Spartans
could only come up with two hits, a double by Robby Annis and a single
by Daniel Zellwick....
