To better prepare the San Pedro High School (SPHS) softball team for the upcoming National Secondary Schools Sports Association (NSSSA) tournament, each year The San Pedro Town Council (SPTC) hosts an annual softball competition. The competition saw several teams participating, and after weeks of softball action, three teams claimed the top spots on Sunday, February 9th. In first place was Team Extreme, followed by RCGO in second place, and SPHS rounding third.
The championship match between RCGO and Extreme was held in a best out of three games at the Honourable Louis Sylvestre Sporting Complex. It was not easy, but Extreme managed to win the first game 13-7. They took a break and cheered on the teams battling for third place. SPHS took on Team Rusties for the respectable third place title. After slaughtering Rusties 12-2, SPHS victoriously claimed third place.
After a short intermission, the second round of the championship match between Extreme and RCGO took place under a hot baking sun. RCGO tried to make a strong comeback, but Team Extreme proved to be tougher and secured their second victory, 11-4, thus claiming the championship. RCGO, who has won the tournament three times in the past, had to settle for second place. 
Immediately after the games, team trophies were handed out, followed by the distribution of individual awards. In the male category, ‘Best Male Infielder’ was Rene Flowers, ‘Outfielder’ went to Alan Ayala. The award for the ‘Most wins and Most Strikeouts’ went to Chris Rodriguez, while ‘Batting Champion, Most Homeruns and Most RBIs’ went to Alex Roache. ‘Most Stolen Bases and Best Infield’ was Rene Flowers.
