The Bulldogs held a free camp for boys and girls ages eight to 12, on Wednesday, March 26, at Arvada High School.

Dozens of local youngsters showed to up and were mentored by Arvada players as well as head coach Gino Carbajal. Carbajal called the camp which is tied to their spring fundraiser a success and estimated they rose up to five thousand dollars for the Bulldogs’ program. He added that the camp and fundraising efforts came from the same model he used while the head coach at Faith Christian High School.

In addition, at the end of the camp there was a mini dog show featuring Australian Shepherds who ran around and skillfully caught Frisbees.

The camp came during the middle of spring break giving the Arvada players an opportunity to recharge as they prepare for league play which starts this week.

The Bulldogs (2-2) have looked incredibly improved even though the spring season just began.

Arvada is just one win sly of last season’s win total (3-15-1 in 2013) and not only do they intend on crushing last season’s win total, but they might have the good to compete for a 4A Jeffco league title.

The Bulldogs last victory was a 10-0 blowout win over Jefferson last Monday at Arvada High School.

Arvada scored four third inning runs to take control of the game using 13 total hits to bury the Saints.

In addition, on Saturday the Bulldogs will honor the 1964 Arvada Redskins State Champion baseball team before our game at home versus Wheat Ridge.

Local legend Irv Brown will throw out the first pitch and members of the 1964 team will attend the game. Steve Bell, operations manager with Jeffco Public Schools, was the catcher on that team and he will be catching the first pitch.
