The Broad Ripple Haverford Little League 9-10 year old All-star softball team spent July 16-July 18th, 2015, in South Bend competing in the State Championship Little League Tournament. While the season didn't finish the way they wanted, overall they had a very successful all-star run. They finished their tournament season at a 6-2 mark. They swept their district and sectional tournaments going 6-0 in those games. The team was managed by Geoff Thompson and coached by Tamara Leech, Mike Caskey and Brian Loane.
Coach Thompson said, "The best part about this team is that throughout the eight games we played every girl made a contribution. Everybody on the team made a play on defense, got a hit or ran the bases exceptionally well. Everybody made a difference some time and all the girls carried themselves as champions regardless of the score of the game. The coaches, their families and Broad Ripple Haverford Little League are very proud of how these girls played this season." This marks the second time in three years that Broad Ripple Haverford Little League has made it to the Little League State Tournament in the 9-10 age bracket.
