The 2008 Public School System Fast-pitch Softball League and the 2nd Annual Spearfishing Tournament topped sports headlines this past week.
Dandan and Koblerville won the boys’ and girls’ elementary school softball championships after beating separate opponents in the finals of the 2008 Public School System Fast-pitch Softball League last May 16 at the Miguel Basa “Tan Ge” Pangelinan Field.
The Dandan Tottot squeezed out a thrilling 2-1 win over the San Vicente Canaries in the boys’ division, while the Koblerville Umangs coasted to a 15-5 triumph over the Gregorio T. Camacho Binadu in the girls’ class.
Guam’s Mike Genereaux, meanwhile, was the 2nd Annual Spearfishing Tournament’s biggest winner after he topped the individual and total weight categories of the competition held last May 17 in the waters around Saipan.
Forty divers joined the one-day tournament but none was better than Genereaux whose catch tipped the scales at 47.40 lbs.
In other sports news, Shell Marianas won the Saipan leg of the 2008 Budweiser King and Queen of the Diamonds, sweeping past their opponents in the weekend tournament held at the Capital Hill Field.
Shell Marianas, composed mostly of the former No Ka Oi team, capped their title sweep with a 10-4 win over Team Sai-Pal in last Sunday’s finals.
Tony Stearns and Janet McCullough, meanwhile, kept the brass bat for yet another year after topping the 33rd Annual Laguna Regatta held over the weekend in the waters of the Saipan Lagoon.
After a slow start Stearns-McCullough held off the spirited efforts of tandems Ron Smith and Ted Parker, husband-and-wife Tyce and Angie Mister, and Lino Olopai and Amada Rabauliman.
The past week also saw the start of the PTI Inter-Government Business Basketball League and games played in the 3rd Annual Budweiser-Saipan Major League, Inaugural FMI Inter-Color Basketball League, and the Saipan Little League Baseball Association.
