In 2008, Bennett's Creek Little League celebrated our fortieth year of bringing Little League to Suffolk. We hosted a series of special games for each of our divisions on opening day, March 29, 2008. We were proud to have a memorable line-up of people and organizations helping us start our anniversary season, including Congressman Randy Forbes, Suffolk Major Linda T. Johnson, Sky-dive Suffolk, Inc., and the Nansemond River High School Band.

BCLL had three Major, three Minor, and one Big League Softball Girls teams; six Major Boys, eight Minor Boys, and eight Coach Pitch Boys teams. Rounding out the field was another big turnout of eight T-Ball teams comprised of 104 Boys and Girls. We were the only league in the district with a Challenger Division with two teams. In all, our program supported 111 Girls and 352 Boys, for a grand total of 478 children. A total of 347 games were played on five fields last spring.
