The CH 8U All Stars keep their winning streak soaring as they took 1^st place in the Sharpsburg All Stars Challenge. The Eagles went undefeated throughout the tournament. The bats were alive as a total of 66 runs were flown in by the Eagles and their notorious defense, only allowed 8 runs throughout the entire tournament!  The All Star Challenge consisted of teams that came from Georgia and Alabama.

The CH 8U All Stars are on a 15 game winning streak!

The team consisted of:  Aaliyah Bryant, Elizabeth Hellsten, Amanda Hopkins, Skylar Jenkins, Nia Lee, Payton Lindsey, Katherine Norris, Madolyn Packer, Kristen Rogers and Courtney Roley. The Eagles were coached by: Jason Lindsey, Rob Packer and Tommy Roley.

After being crowned Champions in Tri County All Stars, the Eagles decided to see if they have what it takes to play in a State Tournament. The team entered to play in the 2008 ASA Class C State Tournament hosted at Joint Venture Park & Sharon Springs Park, Cumming Georgia from June 28^th-29^th – and what a showing they delivered!

The Eagles played teams from Alpharetta to Brookwood, then met back up with their ole buddies (and rivals), the North Gwinnett Bulldogs, to compete for the winner’s bracket. The Eagles and the Dawgs went head to feather for 5 innings with the Eagles squeaking out a 7-6 victory in overtime; seeding their spot to play in the Championship Game.

In the Championship, they faced another familiar foe, the mighty Mill Creek Hawks. In the final game, the Hawks and the Eagles each played remarkably, neither team allowing any runs until the 4^th inning. Then, the Eagles’ aggressive base running began to put points on the scoreboard.  As they entered the bottom of the 5^th inning, the 8U Eagles had to demonstrate their notorious defense and hold the Hawks.

The game ended at 3-0, and the 8U Eagles left Cumming, Georgia as Champions!

The team consisted of:  Aaliyah Bryant, Elizabeth Hellsten, Amanda Hopkins, Skylar Jenkins, Nia Lee, Payton Lindsey, Katherine Norris, Madolyn Packer, Kristen Rogers, Courtney Roley, Megan Roos and Bianca Rudnik. The Eagles are coached by: Jason Lindsey, Rob Packer, Rick Hellsten, Kobi Kilgore and Dustin Bryant.
