Just look at these Echo archive scenes from Hill View, Southwick, Westlea and Seaview Schools who battled it out in a contest in 2008.
Ten years later Westlea Primary was in the picture again when they won a North East tournament.
And finally, let’s go all the way back to 2003 for a baseball championships at Seaham Leisure Centre.
That’s quite an innings of photos. Have a look for yourself.
