The Trojan Softball Team traveled to Portland, OR on Thurday, May 14th to participate in the 2009 NWAACC Softball Championship Tournament that was held May 15-18 at Delta Park.  This is a double elimination tournament that includes 16 teams (four from each region). 

Everett started the tournament on Firday morning playing the 3-time defending champion – the Red Devils of Lower Columbia College.  It was an even game until one bad inning for the Trojans when the Red Devils went ahead and stayed there winning by a score of 9-1.  That moved the Trojans to the Loser’s bracket where they faced the Trailblazers of Centralia College on Friday afternoon.  This was really no competion for the Trojans as they won very easily with a score of 8-0 in five innings.  This win had them facing the Lakers of Southwestern Oregon CC on Saturday in another loser out game.  Unfortunately for the Trojans, the Lakers had a very good game, winning 6-1 and sending the Trojans home with a 1-2 2009 tournament record. 

Congratulations to the team and coaches for a great season; 16-8 League 21-24 Overall; 4th in League. We look forward to another great season next year and another shot at the tournament championship!
