Team KW Portland 2011

January 16, 2012 Posted by admin

The boys in San Diego came to Portland with the intention of doing better, and they left knowing they did just that placing 4th in a pool full of great teams and returning champs! Once again Pac-Chain stood in their way of advancing any further and this old rivalry is always a great one to watch as former team mates face-off on American soil on opposite sides!

Be on the look for KW to come back with a vengeance and focused on heading right to the top. Idaho’s Pac-Chain will not make this an easy task and the home crowd will control the home field. Are you ready for Boise 2012?

Every year the fan base seems to grow as our people of the CNMI come together for one special weekend that has become the biggest event for the people of the CNMI. This can be seen in Arizona’s fan base as they grow and support them wherever they go. Look for the Black and Yellow Labor Day and I’m sure it will lead to Atmarao!

San Diego Antigu

Team Antigu from San Diego, California.

“Get Hooked” Enumclaw, WA edition 2006

What do you remember from Enumclaw, WA?

I would say this was one of my favorite experiences labor day as we trekked into the deep woods into the small town of Enumclaw, Washington. There were only a few choices of hotels in the area and we managed to fill some rooms that would otherwise be vacant for this end of summer tradition for the people of the CNMI.

This was San Diego’s first appearance at a CNMI Labor Day Softball event, and we came with close to 20 anxious Antigu players. The team was coached by Mark Villagomez and Tom Cepeda, and it was indeed an adventure! This was the first place KMMNWLTH was sighted as we began the Kompany selling Fokai t-shirts and hats at the Labor Day softball tournament. From here we began to sell our own brand that was design, printed, and sold by our team!

We would like to say thank you to committee that made this event one of the most memorable! Si Yu’us Ma’ase!
