Tough loss today, but this group showed exactly what they’re made of. The girls never gave up and battled all game long. We just came up a little short against a really good team.

There were too many great performances to single out everyone, but I’m proud of each and every one of them. We’ve been dealing with some key injuries, and that’s never easy with a tight-knit group like this, but the effort, resilience, and attitude these girls continue to show says a lot about who they are.

Huge shoutout to the home run club today. Madalyn, Kylee, and Calleigh went yard and brought the energy.

We’ll keep working and come back stronger.
