WIFFLE BALL TOURNAMENT
Please share this event with others
Batting for Bradford Wiffle Ball
Tournament is being organized
Ryan Bradford was a great softball fan -- and player! A Caesar Rodney High School student, he passed away last June at Children's Hospital, Philadelphia, PA.
SPECIAL OLYMPIAN. As a Special Olympian, he often practiced softball on the field next to Wesley College's DuPont Softball Field, Dover, DE, where the Wesley Wolverines practice and play their home games.
At times, the Special Olympians and our Wolverines have worked-out and played softball games together.
AVID SPORTS FAN/ PLAYER. Ryan was a big fan of Wesley Wolverine senior #9 P/OF Lily Engel (Dover, DE), for whom you could hear him cheering at college, travel-ball and high school games. His sister, Katelyn, a standout softball player herself, played fastpitch at PolyTech High with both Lily and Wesley Wolverine junior #4 MI/OF Samantha Burns (Magnolia, DE).
Ryan was great fun to be around. He was always happy, cheerful and enthusiastic, fully involved in everything he undertook. Besides softball, he played soccer, basketball and bowled. He also was the manager for Caesar Rodney High's Boys & Girls soccer program.
BATTING FOR BRADFORD. Ryan is being remembered this fall with a special sports event entitled "Batting for Bradford Wiffle Ball Tournament" at Caesar Rodney High School, Saturday, October 15 at 10:30 AM. Donations are $50 per six-player team. All ages and abilities are welcome. All proceeds go directly to Special Olympics of Delaware in Ryan's name. Click here to download the Wiffle Ball Tourney registration form.
Later this winter, the 1st Annual "Ryan's High Five" 5K run/ walk & mile fun walk is being organized for Sunday, November 13, 2016, at 9:00 AM, at the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Department, Magnolia, DE. Click here to download the 5K Run entry form.

MEET 2017 FRESHMEN
It's a large freshman softball class -- 5 players! Together they have every position covered by their primary and secondary roles: a pitcher, two catchers, two utility, an infielder, shortstop, third base, and if fall-ball is any indication, several can snag a ball driven deep into the outfield, too.
THEIR HOMETOWNS. Usually, there is at least one Delawarean represented. Not this year. There's a Floridian from Cooper City while the rest are Marylanders from across the Chesapeake Bay, hailing from Baltimore, Hagerstown, Fallston and Leonardtown.
THEIR MAJORS. Their class schedules are on diverse paths. They are pursuing degrees in five very different majors: Environmental Science (Allison), Sports Management (Karina), Media Communications (Brooke), Law and Justice (Alyssa), and Physical Education K-12 (Autumn).
THEIR DIRECTION. Their sports resolve, however, is one path: a commitment to team and being the next wave of winning Wolverine fastpitch softball!

Wolverines 2014
Wolverines 2014
The Wolverines are familiar with these North Myrtle Beach games. In the 2014 season, Wesley battled to a 7-3 won-loss record when the Wolverines helped open the then brand-new beautiful North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex, where the team will return next March 2017.
"Best complex"!
"Best complex"!
The park's website boasts of having "the best complex" and "best dirt & grass turf in the southeast." The tournament directors quote online from our Coach Greep as stating: "I just first wanted to thank you for a wonderful week, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. The tournament and accommodations were topnotch."
Wolverines 2015
Wolverines 2015
In 2015, Wesley returned to Fastpitch Dreams to win an impressive 8 of 9 games at the tourney, a year the team also set the school record for most wins in a season. (Last year, 2016, the Wolverines traveled farther south to compete in The Spring Games, Clermont, Florida.)
