Rockhounds Go International

www.columbiarockhounds.com has logged its first international visits! We've had visitors from England, Colombia, and India. There also appears to be a visit from the Atlantic Ocean, but I assume that is in error. Four continents down, three to go!

Using the Google Calendar

As the BC league schedule dribbles out, I will add games to the Rockhounds calendar as they become available. If you click on the game, you will see additional information (field #, opponent, etc.) You will also have the option of adding the game to your own Google calendar. If you do not have a Google calendar and wish to create one, just click this link.

League Schedule Online

The Rockhounds BC league schedule is online at:

For now, only the first week is posted, more to follow.

First Scrimmage a Hit!

The Rockhounds awoke Saturday morning to a disheartening sight: snow! While initially it appeared the scrimmage would have to be cancelled, the team made the trip and the games were held. While the temperature never rose out of the low 40's, the Rockhounds warmed up nicely and handled the Braves 10-3 in the first game and came from behind in the 2nd to win 7-4. As soon as the BC schedule is available, I will post it on our schedule at the bottom of the page. In the meantime, please check out the pictures from the scrimmage in the photo album.

Check Out Our Sponsors!

The Rockhounds would like to thank the following sponsors, without whom we could not begin to achieve our goals. Please give them your consideration.











Forevergreen Nursery, Inc.

First Practice at Highlands Field

On Sunday, the entire team pitched in and helped renovate the practice field. While much work remains to be done, it will have to wait for the arrival of more rock. The team then put the new field to good use by holding infield practice. The scrimmage on Saturday can't come soon enough for the Rockhounds!

Workday Cancelled

Please note that the workday originally scheduled for Saturday, March 10, has been cancelled due to wet field conditions. I will update the calendar when I have more information.

Team Braves Weather

The weather was cold, windy and yes, a little snowy on Saturday as the Rockhounds braved the elements to deliver doormail to 5000 door knobs! As Coach Joe told the guys, "remember this in July when the temperature is over 100". Thanks to the parents who drove and thanks to the players for pounding the pavement for the team!
