12u SoJo League CHAMPS

yep.. our ladies in HOT pink SHOTZ took another one home.  And on Halloween eve with nice cool weather.  The final tournament of the league was delayed several weeks due to weather.  We were glad to finally get it done with and end our fall season off on a good note.  An unfortunate loss to UT Predators due to weather put us in the losers bracket.  We played our way back into the SHIP battle-ing undefeated 2nd year 12u Liberty.. Of course that meant we had to beat them twice to be CHAMPIONS.  and that we did.  First game we were up the whole game.  However, they were the home team.  Time expires and they are batting and scoring.. How nerve wrecking.  they could have caught up and won.  Fortunately our girls defense held them and won a close one of 5-4.. Now to do it again.. Girls are on a high from their win.  So much so that the IF game was cake.  No seriously it was..  We won the actual SHIP game 10-2 and brought home another medal and title.  So proud of these girls.  12u is looking darn good for us so far.. Lets keep it going ladies.. And that is the END of the season.. Get to rest a lil and then bring it on 2013..

We got together and made dinner for the team .. Good times.  We definitely need to do this more often.  Happy parents equals a happy team..haha 

Gift for Kids in Mesquite Oct 19-20

We traveled to Mesquite for one last tournament of the yeAr. We all went several years back as the Warriors playing 8u. Last year the Hot Shotz girls went and played in 10u and didn't even place in top 3 ;(.. This year both teams went out with high hopes.

10u had 8 teams participate. Boom sported their new awesome uniforms.. They were looking pretty good.. So good they won both pool games to put them at the top of their bracket. Whoot whoot.. They've been working hard on batting during practice and it totally showed at the games. Girls were swinging at better pitches and when connecting they were killing that ball. What a good feeling to watch their success. They played hard and did it to themselves to end the tourn in 4th place. Errors kills. But we learn and move on.

Hot Shotz Coaches had planned to do 10u. Some of us parents were not having it. We already dominated the 10a here in SLC. Why would we wanna bully the same teams in mesquite. Lol. Well I hope they were satisfied with our performance in Mesquite b/c the girls played darn good. We tied in pool play with Inferno who several weeks earlier at the predator Throwdown beat our butts pretty good. Not this time. We tied 4-4 came up from behind to tie it up. Oh yeah. We beat 2nd year teams like Sandlit Reign and Toxic in intense games. Our defense was hot and bats and hustle Around the bases helped us win those games. We were on a total high. We were eliminated by 1st year 14u teams who played down. But we head them at 6 points which was major big for our team. We ended 5th out of 21 teams. Big stuff for our girls.. So proud of them all.. Hot Shotz HoorAh!!!!

The Last Stand 2012

Winter is coming.. We felt it this weekend playing in the Last Stand .. Hot Shotz in 12u division and Boom in 10u division.  There was a total 6 teams per division.  But it definitely was a good time of playing..

Hot Shotz had several big highlight of the tournament.  We lost to a 2nd year Surge team who are a good team.  And coming back and winning them in the losers bracket.. What a nail biter.  We comfortably won them that second game.  But you still can't underestimate them and we needed to come with out A game.  We made in to the ship.. playing a new accellerated team from Grantsville.. They definitely came to play and we had to turn it up big time to beat them twice.  We had to play catch up after time expired and we were home team to take the 2nd and final game .. we wont 54 and declared the LAST team STANDing.. It was an awesome finish.  Girls are playing so well and we couldn't be any more proud of them.  We love our hot pink hoodies too..

Boom cruised pretty in the winner bracket all tournament long.  The definitely deserved that.. The ship games were tuff loses for them.  It was there but errors all around just couldn't finish off their games with a win.  They are still Champs in my book.  Girls are progressing so much and you can see the growth.  This team has alot of talent.  Good job girls.. We'll get them next time.
