LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – “Mission Youths” are the champions of the 2013 Youth Coed Softball Tournament, held Saturday, Aug. 3, and Sunday, Aug. 4, at Lakeside County Park.

This was the fourth annual event sponsored by ReachOut, a program of Sunrise Special Services Foundation, a nonprofit health and social services agency.

This coed softball tournament for ages 13 to 17 is known to be a fun, family annual event. 

Second place went to “Pomo Youths,” third place to “Robinson Rec” and fourth place to “Middletown Youths.”

The mixed teams of youths ages 9 to 12 played their championship games during the lunch hour of both days.

The barbecue lunch was provided for players and family.

The sponsoring program is grateful to Twin Pines Casino for donating the hamburgers and hot dogs, Foods Etc. for donating water, Tracey Avila for the chips and April Shepherd for the awesome beans. Additional support came from Lakeview Market, Big 5, Disney Trophies, and the county of Lake Parks and Recreation. 

This annual tournament is not grant funded but sustained by entry fees and joined efforts of local businesses, individuals and coaches.
