Season Recap

Well, I have risen from the dead. I have taken some time off to rest, work and basically be a bum. Well those days are over. We are getting ready for the Team One Showcase in Jupiter mid September and then a game or 2 with Palm Beach Community College to tune up for the WWBA World Championship.
I do admit being a bit lazy but I needed the break. A nice article was penned for the team by an anonymous author and I wanted to share it with all of you. I promise to keep you more in the loop from now on. Here goes:

Diamond Vision Elite/Wellington Travel Baseball

The Diamond Vision Elite 17 and under baseball team completed an outstanding summer by winning the 60 team Baseball Championship Series Tournament in Ft. Myers. Previous to the BCS championship, DVE (which is the Wellington Travel Baseball 17u team) was the number one seed in the Team One 18u tournament in Jupiter before losing in the playoffs. DVE went on to win the World Federation 18 and under Tournament in Kissimmee, then placed 3rd in the 192 team World Wood Bat Association National Tournament in East Cobb, Georgia. The team has won 33 games this summer while only losing 3 and tying 3. DVE will continue its play in September at a Jupiter showcase and October at the World Wood Bat Association National Tournament in Jupiter.

DVE was assembled by General Manager Peter Greenberg and Head Coach Chad Upson. The team is comprised of some of the best 16 and 17 year old baseball players in Palm Beach County, representing 10 different high schools. The players and their schools are: Bryan Adametz, Nick Ferraresi, Travis Holloway, Julian Ovalle and Matt Soloman from Wellington High School; Jonathan Bostley, Kyle Finch, Jake Meiers, Ryan Roberson and Devon Travis from Palm Beach Central; Steven Arvanitis and Josh Scott from Seminole Ridge; Alec Cruikshank and Jimmy Holten from Cardinal Newman; Matt Delay, J.D. Delvalle and Derek Neisman from American Heritage; Cameron Horton from Pope John Paul; Rob Marcello from Royal Palm Beach; Jesse Russianoff and Dane Wisneski from Palm Beach Gardens; and Joey Todd from Park Vista.

Palm Beach County residents should be proud of the way these young men represent our area on and off the field. The team is coached with enthusiasm by Head Coach Chad Upson and Pitching Coach Sean Killeen.

Thanks and work hard in school
