It's Just the Beginning...

for four of you! I have really enjoyed getting to know my senior gals this year. They are a great bunch of girls! They are smart and witty... I know they will go far in life!!! I hate the way the season ended for them... but overall they had a great year!

-Tournament Time-

Well, the end is here- We just completed an awesome season- with 19 wins!!! I am so proud of the efforts, improvements, and growth that I have seen the gals make on and off the field. I am going to miss the seniors next year... they are an interesting group of kids that always brighten the moments of darkness.

Hannah #25- Is a heart player! She gives everything, everytime she runs onto the field. No matter what position or what spot in the batting line-up... she encourages others and supports her team. Our team will dearly miss her positive attitude and ability to pick us up when things start to fall apart at the seams. I wish her the best in her life and hope to watch her play ball at the college level.

Kacey #22- Is hilarious! It never fails, not matter the situation she always has something hilarious to say. As the coach, there were a lot of times I wanted to laugh and enjoy her craziness, but had to be the mature adult!!! Kacey was a big bat for the team this year. She had a role, and she performed... Her bunting abilities are amazing- she can put the ball 2 foot out from the plate everytime- She had a lot of SACs for the team this year- Kacey, I will miss you!

Nicole #13- Is the quiet one. She doesn't really say too much & is extremely hard on herself. She has worked hard at 2nd base this year assisting in more the 35 put outs. I am very proud of her and appreciate her hardwork and effort.

Courtney #4- Hmmm.... What to say? Pack is VERY VERY VERY HARD on herself. (too hard) She is the kind of kid that you make mad of purpose, because she performs better when she is mad- She has the "I'll show you" attitude. She is an excellent outfielder, and was pulled into 2nd base for a few games and looked like an all-star- and did it without a complaint!

I will miss you all!!!! Good Luck in all you do!
Rememeber it not over, til' it's over- And we still have a long way to go... if you want to!

Our team has grown up so much in the past month- You are maturing into a team that cares! (Given, we have our moments of youth that truely SHINE through)- We have been playing good, clean, honest softball- A true team effort. Keep of the good work- We had an awesome win over at Unioto- A good win against Chillicothe---- Let's make it a triple tonight at home!!!
Keep it Up!

That's The Way... Uh Huh... I Like It!

Way the go ladies! A 100% team effort. Hannah threw the ball well lastnight, but it takes more than that to win ball games- and you went the extra mile. We got our bats out early in the game- We applied ourselves and worked a step ahead in the mental part of the game. Way to work! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! Keep it up! Big game tonight- come mentally prepared & really to kick some butt!

Back on Track...

I hope! We played an OK game lastnight- But not the best you can do! We need to keep working and improving on the little things. The little mistakes all add up to big mistakes.
Shella pitched a great game lastnight- No walks!!! Equally as important- We played defense behind her- I seen EVERYONE supporting each other- which makes for a great team effort! Holly, Shella, Calli, and Hannah did a good job getting on base! We need to apply the base running skills that you have been taught! We spent a lot of time on those- and they WILL be applied. Lastly... Remember that you are given signals for a reason- Do as you are told. It will benefit us all in the long run!
Keep it up ladies! We need to make those small improvements for a big return tonight at home! Let's keep improving our game and our record- I am proud of you gals!

Tonight At Adena

Sometimes things don't go your way- But don't make excuses- Make a difference! We need to spark back tonight and get back on track. You have to believe in yourselves- We can believe in you... but it does nothing... unless you believe in yourself. WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
To Think You Can- is one thing! To Believe You Can- is something else- You think with your head and you believe with your heart! Give it all you got! Good Luck!
