DashNSplash 14u

Tooele is the location for this weekend.  DNS is always a fun tournament to do.. Girls get a free pass to splash but we always seem to be playing late into the night that we don't get to splash.  Oh well..
We stayed undefeated all tournament til the ship game vs a very good Inferno team.  They def came to play after our girls put them in the losers bracket with at 13-1 score.  yikes!  so i was no surprise they wanted revenge.  the ship game gave us our first loss with a score of 14-4 and on to the IF game we go.  it was a good battle between both teams.  at the 3rd inning we are tied 7-7.  they are the home team!!  last inning and we go up 3 runs..yes!!  We need to hold them.. And that we do we a double play to end the game.  Exciting Exciting Exciting.. We are the CHAMPS.. watching these girls gets us more and more excited for the game.. Right on Hot Shotz!!!!

DashNSplash 12u



Girls cooling off at Coldstones.. Thanks Kelly!!!!

6/28-29

We had record breaking temp this weekend.  Over 100 degress.  No one was looking forward to being at the ballpark in this crazy heat.  Thankfully this weekend we were in Tooele/Deseret Peak.  It always seems more cooler there.  It was still hot, but with a lil breeze and occassion cloud to cool things down even more.  Couldn't say the same for SLC so I'm glad we were in Tooele.  It didn't help either that the pool was shut down this year !

Our HS girls played this tournament along with about 13 other teams.  of the 13 we played a total 4 teams.  Interesting how that happens sometimes.  We played Ut Pred and Evo12u in pool play.  In bracket we met up with Roosevelt Rumble, Evo and G-Force and those are the teams we played during the tournament.

Our girls played well enough to win games til we met up with G-Force.  A team that we have won every time this season.  They were determined to beat us and that they did.  They beat us and put us in the losers bracket and met up with them in the championship game were we fell to them with a score of 10-3.  Another second place finish for our girls.  Can't complain much.  The better team this tourn won it.  Now we know we just need to try a lil harder and come out strong from the beginning.  That was def one of the differences with our games with G-force.  they came out pumped and hyped from the start.  Still proud of our team and the effort they put forth.  Live and learn.

Crazy Busy Weekend-Brigham City Invitational 12u & DashNSplash 10u

6/21-22

Busy weekend. My son is at the All Poly football camp, Daisy and her Hot Shotz team is in Brigham City Invitational and Foi and his Boom team is in Tooele/Dash N Splash.. Can't be at all places at once and felt sad to be missing everything going on.. :(

Boom and Dirt Devil girls doing the Harlem Shake

Anyhoo.. Hot Shotz started pool play on Thursday with Sliders, Thunder and Attitude Roadrunners.  Teams we've easily beaten.  Well not that day :(.  Loss both pool games vs Att RR 2-0 and then vs Sliders 5-4.  Ugh..not a good way to stay the tournament.  Hits were a hit and miss.  Some were good some were struggling.  So was the case with defense.  All in all it resulted to our losses.  And early play for brackets on Friday.  Friday was a diff story for the team.  After being behind most of the game vs Surge2000, the girls battled and tied the game 5-5 taking it to an international tie breaker inning.  Surge added 1 to their score.  Being home team worked well in our favor.  We were able to get 2 scores in to win the game.  YAY.  What an exciting game!  S/O to Kamora who hit one over the fence for a 2 run Homerun during the game vs Surge..Nice job kid!  We were in the winners bracket til Liberty knocked us to the losers bracket.  We did meet up again in the ship and fell to them with a score of 10-0 :(.  Not a good game but definitely proud of how far they went.  Its good to have the hussle and success back from the team.  Second place out of 14 teams.  Good job Hot Shotz!!!

They received cups w/ candy and a medal for their prize

Boom were in pool play with Bullets, Voodoo and Altec Attitude a new team we've never played.  They won both pool games and #1 seed for bracket play.  They played well and had them in the winners bracket throughout the tourn.  Ship game vs Predators started late around 930.  An hour late.  Not sure what went wrong but they loss with a score of 14-5.  :(  Here we go to the IF game.  Well diff story.  They batted and hit the heck out of that ball and won with a score of 15-3.  And are the Dash N Splash CHAMPS!!!!  Yay.. Good job Boom!!!  Lets keep it going team!!

 The Champs ... BOOM!!!

Boom 1st place & TC Predators 2nd place
