Bend, Ore. — It was a big baseball weekend for Camas baseball fans with multiple tournaments happening in several towns in two states, and the Camas Barbers took part in the fun.
The team, coached by John Blair, Barry Smith, and Brian Sanville, entered the Bend Elks Memorial Day Tournament for the second year in a row. Last year, they won their division championship and came home with first place trophies. There were familiar faces this year, but most of the team has changed.

The boys started off the tourney Saturday morning against Idaho, and lost a close game, 6-5, as we previously reported. They continued playing on Sunday — against Corvallis and Bend, and won both games handily.
“Their coach told me they haven’t lost a game in two years, and we were their best competition to-date,” said Blair. “I wanted another crack at that. It was a great weekend and our 10U boys are coming back with a third place trophy. Twenty-two teams from Oregon, Idaho and Washington were present.“
The Camas Barbers roster consists of: Zach Blair, Caleb Shira, Braden Sanville, Cameron Miller, Caden Werlich, Cameron Smith, Luke Jamison, Zachariah Shaw, Jake Blair, and Hayden Peterson.
All the boys play for separate Camas Little League teams. Traveling to tournaments is a great way for the boys to experience more baseball, said Coach Blair.
