Players: If you aren’t happy with your role then do something about it. Earn it! If you want to play more, then make a plan, commit & work harder. Everyone is not entitled an opportunity to play or start. That’s not reality, & it’s not the real world. You have to earn your way!
18u Ladyhawks at Nationals comes to an end tonight. We fought all week in scorching heat, won two today and ended up losing 13-7 at 9pm. 7 of these ladies head to college for a new softball journey! We are family and we became better people and teammates this season!
