Districts started yesterday. DD's HS team is very young with only 4 returning varsity players and DD the only returner who has played varsity more than 1 year previously (she is a 4 year starter). We were 5th seed out of 5 so we had to play the #1 team - a great, well coached team with a fantastic pitcher. We got shellacked - 17-1 in three innings. OUCH. DD had one of the only two hits in the game. Then had to go out and play game 2 against the #4 team - our cross town rival. Our team got they crap together and won 17-7. So we live on to play on Thursday...

DD's HS team battled thru the loser's bracket and took second place-stamping our passport to the State tournament for the first time in school history!

We won our first game yesterday 8-0 and qualified for the region tournament. Pitched our #2 in the championship game and lost 7-2. While I understand not wanting your #1 to throw 21 straight innings, there would have been an if game immediately after, it's tough to watch the team take a loss to a team they beat twice in the regular season. I really hope the girls can flush it and move forward. They seemed pretty down after the game. First region game is Tuesday. Hopefully knowing they may get another shot at this team next week will motivate them.

We ended up falling short. We lost both of our games on Friday which was disappointing but we ran into a hot hitting team and then played in one of the best games of the year but lost 8-6. Lead changed four or five times and we had two on when it ended. Their SS made a great play laying out and flipping to 2nd to get the first out and it probably was the biggest play of the game. If she doesn't make that play we have two on with no outs which is a totally different situation.

Our first-year varsity program won the first-round game of the state tournament yesterday. It was my stated goal for the season, especially after a bunch of coaches told me we shouldn't bother getting into the tournament at all, and our girls came through with a 14-4 win. You'd better believe I played the "People think we don't belong here" card.

Counting healthy players only, we have 7 Freshmen, 4 Sophomores, and 2 Juniors. No seniors. And only 4-5 of them have more than a year of playing experience.

We're going to get crushed this afternoon, but I'm not too concerned. We're young, inexperienced, and we're playing the top seed in our sub-sectional. I'm excited for our girls to see what a good, experienced team looks like because I think they can learn a lot from watching how they play.
