I thought I would create a thread about high school softball this spring. We are off to a good but not great start. It gets frustrating with the amount of rain that we have. We have had one good workday/practice where I thought we made huge improvements. We have the potential to have a tremendous freshman class and so, that is exciting. The varsity will be as good as they want to be. As with most years I have to back off some as I tend to get very intense. Last night was one example where the HC had to ask me to lighten up some. As most of you know, I was the HC for my dd and when she went to college to play, I resigned. Now I am back at it as a volunteer coach since I retired last year.
I will check in with some more after some of you have had a chance to give any shoutouts to your teams/player and let us know your hopes for this year. Oh, all of our seniors now have places to play in college and so that streak continues for us. In talking to a college coach about some of our juniors, that coach said that she would take any of our players that we recommended for her program. Our players have gone on to do very good things for their respective college programs.
Finally, a shout out to one of my former players who had a fantastic day yesterday. She went 3 for 5 with a couple of walks while her team is down in Florida. She took the lead in battling average and rbis. This young lady is one of many who hit with me during the summer in extremely hot conditions. When she signed with that college program, I told the coach that when she is done, she will hold some of their offensive records.
