Dixie Chicks

The Chicks season ended on Friday with a 5th place finish in the World Series in Salisbury, MD. This years team really had a great season winning 4 tournaments, finishing second in another and finishing the season with a 56-7-1 record. This was one of the most relentless teams I have had as nothing ever bothered them and they never quit. We fell into the losers bracket early last week and as rain threatened the end of the tournament the Director of the tournament decided to try to finish it all on Friday which meant we would have to win 10 games in a row in one day which is virtually impossible for anyone. It would have meant about 20 hours on the field in a row as we started at 8:00 a.m and the Championship was scheduled for 1:30 a.m on Saturday morning. We did get 6 games in on Friday and still didn't get off the field until 9:00 pm. As it turned out the rain finally canceled the remainder of the Friday games and they finished on Saturday afternoon anyway as the rained was no factor on Saturday. Nevertheless it was a good run and I'm proud of my girls. It's always hard when this tournament ends as I have to say good bye to my Seniors. They are all off to play ball in college and I wish them all the best in everything they do in life. I'm sure you all will be great in whatever you choose to do in life. Remember to always be a leader and not a follower and you will go far. Don't forget rule #3 either as that will become more important down the road. We have practice next Sunday, August 10th at Midlothian High School at 11:00. We will start with some new faces and get ready for another sucessful Fall campaign in September. Final Summer stats are posted, as always GO CHICKS !!!
