| When Lucas Allen joined the Lamorinda Spartans back in 2011, the team had one goal: to win a national championship.
The team, based in Moraga, is composed of players from around the bay area.
After playing nearly 80 games (69-10) since Jan. 1 and traveling 23,000 miles, Travelball Select has named the Lamorinda Spartans the 12U National Champions for 2013. The team earned the ranking of No. 1 team in the nation.
