  1. The kids played so good. They met every challenge and came through in flying colors. We beat teams from Aptos, Watsonvile, Castro Valley and San Jose. We are so proud of them. Go Pleasanton!!

  2. The boys stayed true to their motto, “Practice as a Team, Play as a Team, Win as a Team.” Outstanding effort by all!

  3. That’s great the kids played well. What sport is this for and any standouts? Please give us more details. Thanks for filling us in!

  4. Okay I clicked on the link and figured out this was baseball! Editor – can you please be more specific in your titles so that folks know what the article is about?

  6. To “baseball”,

    You’re kidding right? Below the link on the front page it gives a small description of what the article is about and the picture shows a picture of young baseball players.

    What did you think the baseball uniforms, description about baseball, etc meant?

  7. hey sorry, I have a dinosaur of a computer and I did not want to click on the link as it takes forever to open plus it sometimes kills my computer and shuts down. which is why it would be great to know what sport it is when someone writes the blurb on it in Weekly (before the link). that’s all I’m saying. I’d open it up if it were basketball!

    yes, it’s time for a new computer, sorry folks!
