LaFayette Lady Rambler 8U Softball

05/19/2023

The roaster has been finalized after a long hard week of discussions. This was by far one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. These girls that have been chosen were committed, dedicated, positive, hard working, and begged to keep playing even when off the field. If your player was not chosen please understand this was not easy for me bc I personally feel EVERY player should be an All-Star! Unfortunately, I can only have 12 out of over 20 girls. Great girls might I add! I am thankful for RBI in Chattanooga, so I can keep ALL of the girls that wanted to keep going! We will also continue tournaments throughout the summer including all the girls that are available at that day and time! No player will be left out! So without further ado……Here are your LaFayette Lady Rambler All-Stars:

Mia Wishon
Layton Cantrell
Sophia Ratledge
Anslee Parris
Bryleigh Yoder
River Rhudy
Kensleigh Denton
Kylie Gray
Chloe Hall
Adalynn McGuire
Maddie Mitchell
Wynter Collins

Congratulations girls!

Please keep these girls in your thought and prayers as they drill themselves to prepare for District in a couple of weeks teaming up against the strongest players in the area!

This is why I do what I do! It’s comments like this from other team parents that make me realize that no matter how some feel that their are some who see the reality in the game.

Mother’s Day Champions 2023

05/12/2023

Introducing each of my kiddos!

Tonight was a difficult one for me. It was the very last game of the actual season. Guys you have no idea just how far the girls have came! NO IDEA! I went into this so nervous that they wouldn’t have fun and the parents wouldn’t like me 😂. Gotta love anxiety. It loves to lie to you. Anyways…..I have quite literally had the most amazing time this Spring. When my days were long and hard and could barely pull myself out of bed these girls ALWAYS reminded me just why I matter. You know they all tell me they love me and hug me etc, but truth of the matter is……I NEEDED THEM! They have brought so much joy into my life! We have had Easter parties, friendly scrimmages against local teams, parents vs kids games, pre season tournament, Autism Awareness Tournament, a Mother’s Day Tournament this weekend, birthday celebrations, new babies, softball injuries (which included but not limited too missing teeth), ice cream party and Mexican food, gosh I could go on and on and on! To say I have had an amazing time is such an understatement! Tonight these girls took the seasonal field for the last time. It was against one of our hardest opponents. They got 5 runs in a couple innings to answer back to the other team. One inning we just couldn’t get it past the pitchers circle which held us up on our 5 runs that inning. I am not upset by any means. We only had 2 strike outs the entire game which is the best average we have had all season!!! Like I always tell my girls it’s not winning or losing. It is totally about what you bring to the table and our girls brought it! We will continue to search for tournaments while working around vacations this summer lol. A lot have expressed interest even in playing in an RBI league this summer to be able to continue to grow. THATS what it is all about. When we have to walk away from the field for the final time when the summer is over my goal is that each girl will beg to come back for more next Spring. I have had several say they have already cried never wanting it to end. I have had several say they want me to keep coaching them and also come back to coach them next Spring. They just bring so much joy to my heart and have made my very first ever softball Coach experience one that I will NEVER forget. They have no idea how much I have cried personally bc even though it’s not COMPLETELY over I know that day will come this year at some point and I am just not ready for it. These girls are not just players I see a few days a week. They are my family! I love them each as my own. I feel like I have adopted 10 more girls 😂. I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🧡🥎🖤 I pray these girls keep investing into their practices and their love for the game and one day message me and say, “Coach Jennifer! I did it! I made the HS/College team! please come watch me play!”, bc I wouldn’t miss a min of it for the world.

GIRLS! YALL ARE NOW MY KIDS TOO LOL I LOVE YOU BIG AND I CANT EXPRESS ENOUGH TO GOD ABOVE A BIG THANK TOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE HONOR OF BEING YOUR COACH!

LETS GET THE SUMMER SEASON STARTED!!!!!!!

Go Lady Ramblers!!!!
