GOODBYE TO JBO; HELLO HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL!
|
I remember the last season I played. I went home after a ballgame one day, lay down on my bed, and tears came to my eyes. How can you explain that? It's like crying for your mother after she's gone. You cry because you love her. I cried, I guess, because I loved baseball and I knew I had to leave it.

NORTH SALEM ENDS SEASON AT STATE TOURNAMENT!
THE NORTH SALEM VIKINGS ENDED THEIR 2007 SEASON ON JULY 12TH, AND MOVED ON TO THE VALLEY LEAGUE PLAYOFFS. AFTER QUALIFYING AS THE FOURTH SEED IN THE TOURNAMENT, THE VIKINGS DEFEATED LEBANON TWICE AND CRESCENT VALLEY TWICE WHILE LOSING ONLY ONE GAME TO CRESCENT VALLEY. IN A THRILLING FINISH IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEVENTH INNING OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, THE VIKINGS SCORED FOUR RUNS TO ELIMINATE CRESCENT VALLEY AND MOVE ON TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT IN BEAVERTON. THIS IS NORTH SALEM'S SECOND TRIP TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT IN AS MANY YEARS.
ON JULY 23RD THE NORTH SALEM VIKINGS ENDED THEIR SEASON WITH A 4-3 LOSS TO ROCKWOOD. THE VIKINGS LED THE ENTIRE GAME AND WENT INTO THE LAST INNING LEADING 3-1. ROCKWOOD STORMED BACK WITH THREE RUNS TO DEFEAT NORTH SALEM AND END THEIR SEASON.

IN 2008 WE ARE HOPING TO ESTABLISH MORE TEAMS COMPRISED OF 11 TO 14 YEAR OLD BASEBALL PLAYERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN CARRYING THEIR BASEBALL CAREERS ON INTO HIGH SCHOOL. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR COACHES AND SPONSORS FOR THESE TEAMS. IF THIS FITS YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE, PLEASE CONTACT JUNIOR BASEBALL OF OREGON ON THEIR STATE WEBSITE.
