Latest Update October 2nd, 2023
The Blacksox Nation showed their support this
past weekend for Breast Cancer Awareness.
The teams were excited to get out there in
their new Pink Jerseys and was great seeing the
parents supporting in theirs as well. We told
them Look Good Play Good and that they did.
Congratulations to both Blacksox Nation 10U
and 13U teams for winning the NCTB Fall
