Cal Stars-Adidas Nationally Sponsored Club
Adidas and Stars to team up again in 2011
After a great first season with Adidas the Cal Stars and Adidas will team up again in 2011. The Cal Stars is 1 of 25 Adidas Sponsored Teams and the only club in Northern California.
Club Director Kelly Sopak was very pleased with Adidas this season "The folks at Adidas are an excellent group to work with. They have great people and run high quality events. The Cal Stars are looking forward to helping Adidas grow their brand".
The Stars played in two Adidas Sponsored Events. The Elite team went a combined 9-1 in their two events while the 8th Grade Elite took 4th place in their only appearance this summer.
Next year the Stars are planning to send ALL of their high school teams to both Adidas events plus the Adidas Cup in Chicago. "We always look out for the best interest of players and their exposure. Adidas seems to be the perfect fit for us" exclaimed Sopak.Look for an Adidas West Coast event soon!
Elite continue July hot streak
All four Cal Stars High School teams (Elite, Red, White & 8th 2014) will all make the trip to San Diego and take part in the Mid Summer Nigh Madness (MSNM) Western Championships July 28-31.
The Elite team is coming off a much needed 11 day rest after playing 17 games in 11 days during the first NCAA Viewing period July 5-16. During that stretch the Elite won 14 games while losing only 3 games. The Stars went 4 and 2 while in Oregon at both the Lewis and Clark Scrimmage and Nike End of the Trail Event. The Elite team continued playing well by going 6 and 0 at the Nike Summer Showcase in Chicago, Illinois. The Elite ended their run by going 4 and 1 en route to the Consolation Championship in Cincinnati at the the Adidas National Championships. Currently the Elite team is 41-7 and will likely improve on that record in San Diego.
The Red squad went 2 and 3 at the Nike End of the Trail Tournament in Oregon City and 3 and 2 at the Nike Music City Madness Tournament in Nashville Tennessee. The Red team improved to over .500 on the season and are looking to make a deep run in San Diego.
The White Team has had a light summer but played well in Southern California taking 2nd Place at the Cal Sparks Summer Games Tournament. The 8th Grade 2014 team also has had a light July. After claiming 3rd at the 2014 End of the Trail Tournament in Oregon City the Stars placed 4th place at the Adidas National Championships in Cincinnati Ohio. Both the White and 8th 2014 will take part in the All Star Division in San Diego.
The MSNM Tournament July 28-31 will mark the official end of the NCAA Viewing Period. After this time a lot of the Cal Stars players and coaches will be busy trying to finalize all of the college recruiting. Good luck to all Cal Star players, especially our class of 2011.

After the tough loss the Stars rallied back to beat the top two teams in Oregon. The Stars fell behind early to Oregon City (Host Team) to win going away by 20 points. In the 3rd place game the Stars got a rematch with Team Concept out of Oregon. Team Concept knocked them out the of the tournament last year when they were 7th graders. It appeared like history was going to repeat as the athletic Team Concept squad opened up and early 13 point lead at 19-6. To their credit the Stars hung around in the game cutting it to single digits midway through the 2nd half. At the 5:15 mark the Stars put together a 12-0 run and took a 3 point lead with a minute to go. In the end the Stars put the gamne away, winning 57-50 and taking home the 3rd Place Trophy.
