The Cape Coast Canes History:
(2011 Season) The Cape Coast Canes continued with a successful third summer in a row. The Cape Coast Canes were extremely successful at the Perfect Game events for the third season in a row. The Canes finished with an outstanding (4-1-1) record at the WWBA 18U National Championship in Marietta. This is the first season the Canes missed the playoffs in Marietta due to the runs scored rule to the very talented East Cobb Astros. The Canes were also very succesful at the BCS Finals in Fort Myers, finishing with a (4-2) record. The hard work and hours the players put in really paid off and sent several kids onto the next level. The Canes look forward to yet another tremendous 2012 summer!

The Canes advanced in both the WWBA National Championship and the BCS Finals in the first year of competition and finished ranked #47 nationally.

The Canes also ran their first college showcase having 11 colleges present ranging from Division 1 to NAIA schools throughout the Southeast. The showcase and scouted tournaments the Canes played in allowed for 14 of the players from the first roster to move on and play college baseball.
