Frustrating Season

How's your HS season going?
I know how you feel! My DD is the starting pitcher on the JV team and is a real good player. She can play any position and we spend a lot of extra time working on her game. (I have been pitching fastpitch softball for years and have been working with her). But, with politics and the coach...- Riseball Rusty
