Huge congratulations to Firecrackers 10U for an amazing performance this weekend in Covington at the Bombs for Moms tournament. The girls played their hearts out and represented this organization with pride, toughness, and love for one another. Their performance all weekend was nothing short of incredible.
Mother’s Day tournaments always mean a little more. They remind us how important these moms truly are — the early mornings, long drives, dirty uniforms, endless support, and unconditional love they pour into these girls every single day. While everyone else is celebrating them, they still choose to spend their special day at the ballpark cheering on their daughters and every kid on this team. That kind of love never goes unnoticed.
FOE was built by a mother, and that love still lives in everything this organization stands for. Even though she is no longer with us physically, her heart, her vision, and her spirit continue through these girls, these families, and this team. My daughter plays this game carrying a loss no child should ever have to carry, but one of the greatest blessings has been watching the moms in this organization surround her with love, encouragement, hugs, support, and strength. They have helped fill difficult moments with kindness and reminded her she is never alone.
That is what makes this team different. We are more than softball. We are family.
To every softball mom out there — thank you for the sacrifices, the prayers, the support, and the love you give these girls every day. This weekend was for you. ❤️
