Cody Anthony with Canadian National U19 Team in Argentina

Wed Oct 31, 7:27 PM

Shubie’s own Cody Anthony

          Named to Canada’s U19 National Team

“It’s a dream come true”  Cody is with the Canadian Under 19 Junior Men’s Fast Pitch team at the World Fast Pitch Championships in Argentina.  Proud Mom & Dad – Terry & Jackie Anthony were delayed by the Tropical Storm Sandy.  They are flying out Nov 1st to be with Cody for this huge event with the Canadian Team.

Cody was chosen for the National Team back in August and will represent Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia and Canada in this prestigious event.

Cody made the team during tryouts in Kitchener, Ontario in August.  He said this was one of the best experiences of his life… even though it was a tough grind it was great. He said after the camp he knew he had given it all he had.  It was hard to get any sleep from the trip home and until the phone finally rang.  When Tom Doucette gave Cody the word it was a great relief and exciting for the whole family.

This once in a lifetime trip to Argentina will see the team in competition for 10 days.  Jackie said they have already had several exhibition games to get ready for the Tournament.

Shubenacadie wants to say – "We are very proud of what you have accomplished Cody and wish you every success this coming 10 days and for your future in the game".

The Anthony’s have been tremendous promoters and supporters of Ball here in the Village and have made sure kids through the years have had a field to play on.  They have invested greatly in their community and for that again we say Thank You…
