Great job to my Players.  They represented California Destroyers very well at the Jr. High Championships.  All of my girls received championship Trophies.  Keep up the good work in High school next year or 8th grade. 

This is the level of play that we need to be playing.  We competed against the Dirtdogs, Bustos, and Breeze.  We did numerous double plays, stole numerous bases, and scored alot of runs.  Great job players, we hit to the fence and we drag, and slapped our way to first.     

Thank you Lady Rebels for the Double Header..

Great Job Ladies!  5-0, but this are just scrimmages, wins and losses don't matter.  Winning all five back to back games made you ladies gladiators.  To win all all your games with only ten players against against all odds; very good ASA and NSA competition, very hot day, and being tired.  It's a great mental achievement.  This back to back games will get us ready Mentally for those big tournaments (RR gold, Force Classic, Triple Crown, etc).    On Sundays we plan on winning games, we will not go one and out. 

Great job AAliyah (p), Aly (p), Katie (p), Daisha (short), Ellyssa (C), Lexi (2nd), Leslie (U), Tea(U), Jocelyn (lf), Brianna (Cf) and Jessica (1st).  Great Defense and Offense.

Great Job Ladies!  I am very happy that we have got invited to the Triple Crown Sports World Series Tournament in Reno Nevada July 22-27.  Congratulations, now let's prepare for it.  Nothing,  but the best teams from different states will be there.

We will like to thank all 18 teams that made our friendly possible this past Saturday.  We will like to thank Parks recreation and Madera South High School for supporting Madera Destroyers by giving us permission to rent fields.

Great job 14u-Cuevas Destroyers.  We are playing  at a very high level, even when you guys dont play your  starting positions.  Shortstop playing outfield, 3rd baseman catching, 1st baseman playing 3rd base, 2nd baseman playing outfield, and outfield playing infield. Our pitchers where throwing alot of fastballs only  to let defense work. Even coaches where not where they belong.  Head Coach in dugout, while assistans took over.  This teammates trust each other, this is why they have lasted three to five years together.  

Philosophy about scrimmages/friendlies:

This practice games are not about winning, but about practicing real game situations.  "As an athlete I have lost almost every scrimmage, but won many championships" jc

On January 27, 2013 one of our California Destroyers 14u-cuevas players attended the showcase at Cal Bears home field.  Displaying there talent in a scrimmage against some of the other players in attendance from the California Breeze to Tri-County Smash players.  Represented California Destroyers very well.  Amongs the youngest  in a much older field, age did not make a difference.  2 for 2 hitting, and alot of strikeouts.  Coaches had her  playing short, 2nd, and pitching.  Great job Aaliyah...    

Great job this past weekend ladies.  Your first college showcase and one of the toughest.  We competed against some tough competition Salinas Storm, Reno (Nevada) Comets, Foothill Gold, and Nor CAl Stompers.  For our young squad to compete against this older competition is great.  When we move up to 16u in another two years, I expect this team to be more dominant then the 16u teams we faced.  Lets get ready for our next showcase.  Lots of conditioning this next two months to get you ladies stronger....   

JAN 19-20 Will be Madera Destroyers weekend Team Awareness at Sports Authority at River Park in Fresno.  This weekend all Destroyers Staff, players, friends, family members, and our fans will receive 20% off entire purchase. But you have to see Coach Jose to get VIP 20% pass.  

CONGRATULATIONS DESTROYERS, I AM VERY PROUD AND HONORED TO HAVE OUR TEAM INVITED TO ATTEND THIS COLLEGE SHOWCASE TOURNAMENT.  THIS TOURNAMENT IS BY INVITATION ONLY AND FOR SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF COMPETITIVE "A" BALL TEAMS.  THERE WILL BE OVER 20 DIVISION ONE AND OTHER  COLLEGE COACHES IN ATTENDANCE, ALABAMA, OREGON, CAL, FRESNO STATE, ETC.

Madera Destroyers Staff hosted one of the biggest party in Destroyer history. We invited all the four teams 10u, 12u, 14u-cuevas, 14u-dillard. And did they show up, 250+ strong. This says alot about our family oriented organization. As one group, we raised the money to make this happen. I will like to thank everyone in our organization and coaches for there hard work and dedication. Let's make 2013 even bigger.

Madera Destroyers Organization will like to thank the City Council:
Brett Frazier -Mayor
Andrew Medellin -Mayor Pro Tem
Sally Bomprezzi -Member
Gary Svanda -Member
Robert Poythress -Member

I attended the City Council meeting to request a reduction in park fees rates for our organization. The City Council stepped up to the plate and reduced our fees. This will impact not only our teams, but every team that wants access to the park softball fields. Thanks again.
Jose Cuevas Head Coach

We said we wanted to compete against Northern Californias tough teams and we did. We beat very good teams like San Jose TABU, STRIKEZONE team, Vallejo Hurricanes, and went head to head with MODESTO CRUSADERS.

We beat Strikezone, a team that won alot of games at the ASA Force Classic Tournament. We lost in overtime and almost beat Modesto Crusaders, who won First Place at The Force Classic Tournament.
The Force Classic Tournament is an ASA "A" ball tournament that has about 40+ teams in each division from all around California and other states.
Madera Destroyers are at the level of competition of all Elite teams.

The coaches and players learned alot this weekend. The first day, we were not prepared. The second day, we stepped it up and played like we play. The final day, we competed and finished strong.

Monday Championship
Vs Tabu. Won 12-3
Vs Modesto crusaders. Lost in overtime, International Tie Breaker.

Congratulations to Coach Jose, (Pitcher)Aaliyah, (2nd)Leslie, (1st)Jessica, and (3rd)Brianna in capturing the "Girls Softball Spring Classic Gold Bracket Championship" this past weekend. They Helped there 7th Grade Thomas Jefferson Middle School win championship going undefeated against 12 (7th and 8th) grade teams. We faced 12u and 14u pitchers and players from the Dirt Dogs, Lady Grizzlies, Krush, Kerman Heat, and more. There was good competition, but our girls prevailed.

I will also like to congratulate (pitcher) NINA for helping her Kerman Middle School make it to the Semi-finals against Thomas Jefferson. Great Job pitching!!!!!!!!!!

RAIN RAIN kept us from winning the Gold Division Championship in Madera. 9 teams from Bakersfield to Tracy arrived in Madera to claim Championship, but Madera Destroyers dominated the competition. We beat the CC Fury, Venom, and Liberty from up north. We received medals once again.

Aaliyah: Had amazing day at the mount, pitching a PERFECT game not allowing anyone to get to first base, 24 strikeouts in two games. Great job at bat, one homerun a game bringing runners in everytime and scoring a monster homerun over the fence and out of the ballpark.

Katie did a great job pitching the entire 2nd game, finishing strong with 9 strikeouts and did great at bat.

Liandra and Maddie did an awesome job behind the plate becoming a wall for there pitchers. I saw big time improvements from both of you. Keep improvement as our pitchers keep getting stronger.

Triniti, Lexi, Ally, Jessica, Meranda, Leslie, Nina, Brianna and Hollee did a great job all around. Baserunning was awesome, strong hitting, and great fielding.

GREAT JOB GIRLS, WE HAVE STARTED SEASON 8-0 IN TOURNAMENT PLAY.

Big Thanks to our 10u catcher Madelyn Duran for helping get our pitchers warmed up all weekend.

We are undefeated Champions. We went 5-0 this weekend in Merced. We beat the (OBS Monarchs) in championship (7-3).

Aaliyah and Katie did a great job pitching. Aaliyah was sick throughout the tourney, but still managed to pitch the championship game, score three homeruns and a monster homerun with two girls on base in the championship game . Katie helped Aaliyah throughout the tourney. Katie had a lot of strikeouts and was hitting very good.

Lexi, our starting 11 year old 2nd baseman became the catcher for Aaliyah in the championship game. In the past five years she has never caught before. This was her first time becoming a wall for her pitcher.

Leslie, Jessica, Nina, Liandra, Trinitii, Meranda, Hollee, Ally, and Brianna all did an outstanding job, regardless of the position they played.

We had 6 eleven year olds start the championship game. We won without some of our veterans, whom are injured.
So just imagine when we have all of our girls!!!!

Great Job ladies!!!!!!!!

Our girls finish the year strong. you girls earned a first place medal at Fall State Tournament. We ended up #1 seed and earning first place trophies. We dominated every team AND two teams that had combine over 7 championships this year. Every year our team has been so much better than our opponents. Now, we are, and will continue to be, the team to beat. I do expect to medal in every tournament next year, ASA, TRIPLE CROWN, USSSA, etc. We will look to scrimmage the toughest teams out there, from Corona Angels to Firecrackers team. Keep it up ladies, and Great Job.
