Our History
The league actually began in 1963 when a field was built where the current high school football stadium is. There were 38 boys playing from 6-12 years old. There were four teams, the Indians, Panthers, Rebels and Dragons. In 1976, some of the land where the current facilities are was acquired. At that time, September 8th 1976, Aledo Athletics was incorporated. The field that is now the Bronco baseball field and the field that is the softball field (and the concession stand) were built at that time. We were not associated with PONY until a very few years ago. It was somewhere around 1990 for the boys' teams. The first girls' softball team to play in a PONY tournament was in 1990. June King and Sandra Knight took a Bronco tournament team that included ten-year-olds because we had girls leagues split 7,8 & 9 and 10, 11 & 12. We did not have enough girls to split them into two-year-age groups and have a league.
In 1989 (I think that was 1989), our Pinto boys team won their District and Section tournament. I think that was as far as they went at the time, and I believe those were the first PONY tournaments any Aledo teams won. The older boys played in Little League tournaments in places like Ranger, Eastland and Comanche.
