Dixie Chicks

The Chicks went South to play our final tournament of the Summer in sunny Ocoee, Florida and didn't disappoint. We lost early in elimination play and had to battle thru the losers bracket to a 4th place finish. We played 13 games in the Florida heat and played some really good teams. I was proud of the girls performance, they played great. Especially on Friday with our backs up against the wall we won 4 straight games and all of them in shutout fashion. 28 straight shutout innings on Friday. Then we had to be back on Saturday morning at 7:00 am for a battle with local rival Richmond Storm and pulled out a 4-1 victory only to get beat in the next game to a very good Team Hammer from Florida. They gave us both our losses in the double elimination tournament, 1-0 and 2-1. I had a great time this past week and I hope all the girls and parents did also. I'm going to miss our Seniors that are leaving for college, some of you have been playing for the Chicks for a long time. I've seen you grow from little girls with pigtails to pretty young women. I wish all of you the best in college and hope you achieve everything in life you want. You girls deserve the best so don't settle for anything less. Work hard in school and play hard on the field. I will make it to some games to see you play and I want all of you to know that anytime you need anything or you just want to talk or just say hello please call me. You girls have been a big part of my life for a long time. Final Summer stats are posted. As always, GO CHICKS !!!
