The Scotts Valley 10-year-old All Stars won the District 39 Little league crown on Saturday, July 6 with a 5-2 victory over Aptos. Scotts Valley was led by the pitching of Arthur Soto, who threw four scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and striking out eight. Scotts Valley scored their five runs on seven hits including two by Zephyr Christensen and two doubles by Weber Stemm. The Scotts Valley team will go on to represent District 39 in the Sectional tournament, which begins Saturday, July 13 in Campbell.
When Boulder Creek Men’s Club was founded in 1963 with newly-built Boulder Creek Golf and Country Club as its home course, the redwood-lined links on Big Basin Highway were nine holes in length. A landing strip used by out-of-towners to fly in and golf occupied the space where the back nine stands today. Things have changed – the course was lengthened to 18 holes – but much has remained the same, including the venerable men’s club which celebrates its 50-year anniversary next weekend.
