Thank you to Jeremy Puckett for sneaking in some pics 📸 from the early stages of the camp. Great turnout, and we look forward to seeing 👀 more at the end !
Why do we do the things we do in regard to the sport of softball ? Some of it’s not what people consider ” normal “.
What does a new softball bat cost nowadays ? I hear that it runs in the neighborhood of what my very first car cost. It was a used 1971 Mercury Comet that set us back $500.00 in 1979.
When you have families who have multiple daughters, three bats = a house payment. We all care about the game for different reasons, but first and foremost, I believe that it’s about quality time with our kiddos !
The future of the sport is no longer in jeopardy but the health of it is in our hands. Yes, trophies 🏆 are nice, but it’s not what you are going to remember.
If you need validation of that point, just ask the parents of Lady Cavaliers Softball program that have played their final official game. The thought process of knowing that all of those years of travel and support are a fading memory. I don’t think that Debbie, Denise, the Colemans or the Burnetts are thinking about the weekend tournament nine years ago and the medal that their child earned.
Take the time ⏲️ to enjoy the ride that the game of Softball can take you on ! Because you will miss it when it’s gone.
Normally, I would use a Photo 📸 of Coach to go with his Nugget, but today, it’s a picture of the dedicated young ladies who are working out back on The Hill.
Coach Mayo is a perfect example of someone who receives zippo, monetary or otherwise, from sending us a Nugget every day of the work week ! Yet, he still does it anyway because, in his own words, He’s just doing his part !
We see you, Coach, and you are appreciated !
Congratulations to the new Mom and for being named the Coach of the Year in the Southwest District !!!
KK Newman is all grown up now and continues to make us proud here on The Hill !
If you cross paths with her Father, you will see a silly grin on his face that only comes with being a first-time Grandpa !
Thank you to the entire Newman family for representing us ❤️ in the manner you all do !
