The North Putnam Youth Baseball League is proud to present the North Putnam 12U Champion Cougars.

This Cougar team finished second in the West Central Youth League this year with a regular season record of 12-1.

Cougar Blue won the division tournament, defeating Monrovia in the championship game 5-3, ending their season with a 15-1 record.

"These kids were successful because they worked hard all season. They scored 212 runs with only 23 runs scored against them. We have a good defensive team with many strong pitchers to allow us offensively to be very competitive," said Coach Jeff Rudes.

The North Putnam Youth Baseball League is very proud of each of these players and coaches for their representation of youth baseball on and off the field.

The NPYBL would like to thank all the parents, fans and sponsors for their outstanding support throughout the season.
