Latest Tournament Report:
Tied for 5th at PSPOA.
In 2008:
Unlike everyone else, there hasn’t been any talk of defections, free agent signings or controversy surrounding this squad. That can be attributed to the leadership skills of Carl “Hollywood” Gaskins who won the well deserved PoliceSoftball.com Coach of the Year Award last season. This team is locked, loaded and stable. The last few years has seen this team in the top ten in the rankings but last year they had somewhat of a breakout year and made the coveted top 5. In addition to their top 5 finish overall, this team finished in the top 5 in three ranking tourneys and top 10 in tough tournaments such as Sterling and the World Series. Their 07 World Series and Sterling finishes solidified them as an elite team, not only in the West, but on a national level. This is a team that is built on good power, solid defense and the ability to know how the game is played. Concord also hosts the June tournament in Manteca which quickly has settled in as one of the better West Coast tournaments 2008 OUTLOOK: More of the same, and that is dominant softball and a classy organization.
In 2006:
Heartbreak loss to Houston could have put them deep into the World Series. They have a ton of offensive weapons and had top 5 potential all year. A big tourney win could have put them in the top 5.

| How We Beat You |
|
We are a close knit group, and feed off of each others success.
|
| How You Beat Us |
|
Get us into extra innings... The average age of our team is over 35 years old, and these old legs get a little tired when we go extra rounds.
|
| Team Highlight |
|
We have established ourselves as the "team to beat" in Northern California, and finished ranked 8th in the nation in 2007.
|
| Team Lowlight |
|
Another last inning loss to Team Texas kept us from going deep into the 2007 World Series finals.
|
| Goals |
|
Keep our Concord Tournament in the national spotlight; and aim for a top 5 national finish in 2008.
