This fall we were able to get Courtney and Rachel tryouts for a few select teams. We decided to go with a team out of West named S.W.A.T. Softball With Attitude Team 8U because they wanted both girls on the team, even though Rachel will only be eligible to play with them until the end of December when she has to move up to 10U.On November 1st, the team participated in the Monster Mash tournament in Temple and took 4th place. Not bad for their first tournament as a brand new team. On November 7th, they played in the Hit n Run Fall Bash tournament in Temple and came home with the 1st place team trophy. They played 7 games, with the last two being the most exciting. They lost their first bracket game of the day which put them in the loser's bracket so they had to fight back all day to come back and beat the team that they first lost to. It was such a sweet victory!
We are so proud of this team of girls, and it is especially joyful watching both Rachel and Courtney play together on the same team. Rachel has become such a leader with these girls and is breaking Courtney in to take over when she leaves. They are calling out where the next play is to be made and reminding the others of how many outs. They really have a good sense of where they are in the game.Congratulations girls and S.W.A.T.!!!!!!
