Today my coaching career has come to an end, as the Chix fell in a 7 inning nail bitting contest to a tough Tulsa Hype losing 4 to 3 at the USSSA Nationals in Destin Florida. I could not be more proud of the way the team battled today in the Arkansas Chix final game. The umpires said this had been the best game of the series of all the teams played.
Hard to believe 4 years ago a man could gather up a group of rec ball players , and began a determined journey to build a competitive softball team from it. The girls that have made it. Have worked very very hard to be successful. We combined forces with the Young guns players last fall and have played as one team throughout the fall and summer.
Not only have I watched these young ladies mold into a recond force of softball players , but also beautiful women. During the last 2 years we have had the following softball players sign a scholarship to compete at the collegic level. We wish them all the best in their prosperous future as they earn their degree.
