The Chicks went to Nationals in Orlando, FL this past week and fought hard from start to finish but came up one win short of a National Championship. We had some great come from behind wins to get to the final four on Saturday. We dropped our first game of the double elimination tournament early Saturday morning but then won the final of the losers bracket 6-4 to make it to Championship but we would have to beat the unbeaten Florida Hurricanes Gold twice to claim the rings. We did force the if game by winning the first game 2-0 only to lose 3-1 in 8 innings and finish runner up. It was still a great run to get there and we fought to the bitter end. We ended our Summer with a 49-8-2 record and combined with our fall record of a perfect 36-0 puts us at 85-8-2 for the 2011-2012 season. The Chicks won 3 tournaments this Summer, finished 2nd in States and 2nd in Nationals. I don't know many teams that can match those accomplishments. I'm really proud of these young ladies as we went into every tournament this year shorthanded because of injuries and they made no excuses and stepped up and played like a team. We had a good mix of veterans and youngsters and everybody had their moments. I'm really going to miss our Seniors that are off to college to get an education and play some softball on the side. Remember to work hard on both, they won't let you play ball if you can't keep the grades. I'm sure all of you will work hard and make me and the Chicks proud. Some of you Seniors have been here longer than others but I will miss you all. If you ever need anything or just want to talk, please call me. I will even holler at you if you want me too. I plan on coming to see some games next year. I wish all of you success in school and in life, I hope you get everything you deserve. You also need to remember Rule #3 will be become more important over the next few years, follow it. Thanks for a great season !! Tryouts for our 2012-2013 team will be next Sunday, August 12th 11:00 at Midlothian High School. Final stats are posted, as always GO CHICKS !!!
