Uhmmm.....what? They're going into Captain's practices even though it's out of season and not allowed under your state's rules if the HC is there and your DD will be the starting pitcher?
Man, I often think "if we took the TB team to the HS tourney, we'd win 4 straight titles" and they were all freshman and 2 8th graders last year - LOL - Sometimes watching HS is like watching grass grow. Just keep on cheering.
Gotta love those gungho HS coaches. My DD plays HS ball in the fall Aug-Oct and it is 3 hours a day, 6 days a week of practice or games. I always wondered how good our TB could be if we practiced that much!
Yeah... game 2 of our High School season is against a team that has 9 D1 committed upperclassman... and 4 sophomores who maybe also be as well. They had 42 travel players come out to their softball meeting a couple of weeks ago. Their JV team is better than 90% of the varsities and talent wise they would absolutely be competitive in the highest levels of softball. Most - if not all - of their players were on teams that finished high up in either ASA or PGF. Oh and they didn't win state last year...
We have a total of 11 travel players... all but 1 are underclassman. If we don't get run ruled in that game it will be a great victory for us.
Of course the next game on the schedule is against a school that only has one travel player... and she isn't playing high school for that reason.
So yeah, it is going to be up and down.
