🥎🩵If there was one word for this weekend, it would be: PERSEVERANCE. 🩵🥎
Our 12U Lady Potters earned a 3rd-place finish in the Gold Bracket this weekend, but the path there was anything but easy.
There were challenges. There were frustrations. There were moments when things didn’t go as expected. Through it all, these girls kept showing up, competing, and supporting one another. 👏
After an emotional first bracket game, the Lady Potters had to quickly regroup and refocus for a matchup against Spoon River Rampage. When that game was unexpectedly called before the allotted time had expired, both teams wanted the same thing: the opportunity to let the girls finish the game on the field.
And that’s exactly what happened.
Without letting the situation overshadow the reason everyone was there, the players from both teams took the field and finished what they started. The energy was incredible. The girls were excited. They wanted to compete. They wanted to play softball. 🥎💪
In the end, LPSC secured the win and a 3rd-place finish in the Gold Bracket, but the biggest takeaway wasn’t the hardware. It was the reminder that youth sports are about the athletes. It’s about giving them opportunities to compete, grow, overcome adversity, and create memories with their teammates.
We’re proud of the way these girls handled themselves all weekend. When things got difficult, they chose perseverance. And that’s something worth celebrating. 🩵🔥
