on June 27th, the US National Team was in Kansas City to play "TEAM KC" which was area all stars plus three college players, including Oklahoma's All-American Paige Parker....in the first game Paige got beat 8-0 in 5 innings (4 errors in the first two innings didn't help). In the second game, a...
my DD new team earned a berth in the PGF Northern Nationals this past weekend in Lincoln, NE. It was a state qualifier, so as a team that wasn't from Nebraska they couldn't give us the Cali PGF berth (nor the trophy), but could give a regional national berth. We have been to the Hunnington...
I've said in previous posts that we were just "done" with having to face this kid the last 3 years....now the rest of country can relate to it....I've said for the last three years the kid is the best pitcher in the country and she has been proving it all year long for the Sooners....of course...
my DD and her HS teammates were part of the "WIN for KC" luncheon that celebrates female athletes and 2014 State Champions, as well as others who contribute to the Kansas City girls athletic scene.....which is sadly the last celebration for back-to-back titles.....anyway, the third "youtube"...
it was really a proud day for my DD and us.....there were lots of people and support in attendance for the kid who has had an amazing HS and TB career and ready for the next challenge....

How is Fall High School Softball Going for Everyone....? I know Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Georgia (and other states maybe) play in the Fall and it's playoff time now....was wondering how the regular season went for everyone in those states and their playoff pictures are shaping up....
I mentioned in another thread the our TB squad was in Atlanta this past weekend. We played in the USSSA 16A and 18A Southern Showcase in McDonough, GA.....while we played great (going 4-1 in the power pool division), the way were treated all weekend, by everyone including the National USSSA...
last thing from me still floating on cloud nine from last weekend....this video link below was from this past Friday Night's Missouri 6A Playoff game (Lee's Summit v. Joplin)....but how cool was it that the Head Football coach made his team, in a playoff game, stay out at halftime to support the...
very proud of the Lee's Summit High School Tigers for making it to the final four (out of 105 Class 4A schools)....and finishing #1 in the KCFastpitch pole...

DD used her brand new 2014 Xeno, right out of the package, last night in a big rival HS game and was hitting rockets with it. The new Xeno performance was really impressive, enough to prompt some dads into asking where to get them now....of course she has hit plenty of those "rockets" without it...
anybody thinking of giving the new LS LXT with 3 piece bat technology a try when they come out in a couple of weeks...? My DD's college coaches want her to switch to LS the next couple of years prior to college ball and don't know if I should play it safe with a Xeno or go with the new...
we played a fully sponsered Louisville Slugger team this past weekend and all their hitters were swinging the 2013 "The One X" bats (except for two who were swinging Xeno's) ....I spoke with the coach and he said most of them really liked the new One X....and man did they sound great when those...
In Kansas City this past weekend a great new tournament called the "Top Gun Invitational" with teams from 20 states, including Florida, Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, Nebraska and some really salty 16A teams.....the tournament director has worked his arss off for the last year to make it happen and...
I am an AC coach for our TB Club's 16A team....our founder and director, asked all 14 (I think) teams to show up and help with an organization called "The Exceptional's"....which is a weekly softball event for special needs children and adults from all over the midwest with 225...
My 2015 DD is very excited and proud to annouce, that she has verbally committed to William Jewell College, located in Liberty, MO (which is only 30 minutes away from where we live in LSMO). It is a very prestigious private institution and has a great NCAA Division II softball program....they...
we got back on Aug. 6th for HS ball....but it was a great week in Orlando for the 14A USSSA Nationals. Sadly, the girls just ran out of gas after 7 days in the humidity to fall 3-1 in the National Championship game to the Florida Storm....but still an amazing season for the Originals-Koop 97'...
