12u Thunder Rumble

12u Thunder Rumble held in Tooele .. Definitely a good tournament.  i loved how it was set up with 2 brackets.  A lower and higher bracket.  It definitely gave an opportunity for our team to play and compete.  Which isn't always the case with our 10u girls playing up in the 12u division.  We loss our games against some good teams but were able to battle in there and win games that eventually put us in the Championship game in the Lower bracket.  We ended the tournament playing the ship game and losing to the Carbon County DinoCrackers.  We'll take 2nd place too.. Aint nothing wrong with that at all.. Good job girls.. Hot Shotz Hoorah!

With the winners CC Dinocrackers

12u Spring Classic

After only playing 1 game last weekend, we were excited the sun was out and we could see the girls in this weekends 12u tournament.  Kaysville was the location and the weather was nice.  We played 2 pool games and went 1-1 and losing to a very good Pegasus team. 
It was definitely hard to watch the girls play their best game but not good enough to win.  We ended the tournament playing 4 games.  2 pool games and 2 losing games in bracket that took us out of the tournament.  Total bummer but a good experience for the girls.  We'll get them next time.

12u Cleat Cleaners

Rain Rain Go Away ... We only got in 1 game in this tournament.  Thankfully is was a umpire training tourn and we paid by the game.  So this one only cost us a whopping $40..LOL.
Our HS team played against TC Predators.  We were a nervous wreck as this was our first test at 12u tournament play.  Girls have a new batting coach teaching them the proper batting technique.  But they made us proud and played the best they could.  Beating a the Predators with a score of 4-2. 
And that ended that tourn for us as the Rain caming falling down.  All good..

Hot Shotz Luau

As a way of fundraising Hot Shotz did a Luau.  And because of its success last year, they went with the same fundraiser option this year.  We had a big location (our winter work out facility) the old circuit city store in the Midvale Shopping Center.  So with the help of all the parents on the 6 different teams, we got decor, tables, chairs.  Some of the ticket sales went to the food.  And we had a dance group provide the show for free.  How soo cool.  It was a big success and the support was awesome.  Each team was required to do a dance item.  I know our lil girls loved it.  It was fun practicing and then the highlight was the dancing.  They totally had a good time.  Thank you to everyone for their support.  Great success. 



10u St Paddy's in Vegas

Boy we were excited to be going to Vegas.. Yay!!!  We definitely felt that our girls have been playing so well that we can hang with the Vegas tournament.  You have teams from everywhere there.  So the talent would be something we aren't use to in Utah..

Well... we went and played.  We had our ups and many downs.  It was not a good tournament at all.  Blame it on, nerves--being we were in new territory with good teams.  Blame it on, it being the first tournament of the year after a long winter break.. Blame it on, the girls just not geling and in the groove.  Blame it on, bad play calls choices by the coaches.. Whatever... Bottom line, it was a disappointing tournament.  And even worse since we drove many many miles to participate.  But we can't say we didn't learn any thing from it.  Both coaches and players.. and definitely parents.  We definitely have the talent to compete.  And even at this level with the California, Nevada teams.  It just wasn't out time ..

 Now we go home to Utah and practice hard and come back a better wiser team.. Don't worry Vegas, we'll be back.. :)

10u Deseret Falls Tourn

 Last tournament of the year.. Yay!!  We have been soo happy with the success of the team this fall.  We didn't bother backing out of the opportunity to go to St George when the coach asked .. Yeah, we are softball feens!!  LOL..

Although the participation was disappointing, the girls always have a great time playing the sport they love. 

And who would have thought St George would be that cold.. Yes it was winter, but we just assumed that it being in southern Utah we wouldn't get the cold winter like we do back home in Salt Lake.  Such rookies.. LOL

Even with the cold freeziing windy rainy weather our girls played their game and had fun. 

We made it to the ship game undefeated.  And played a very good team UC Revolution.  Fun times with the girls.

We love that we got fleece blankets instead of a t-shirts.  So appropriate with the cold weather we had.

Now time to put the cleats and gloves away for a little while and just enjoy being kids.. YAY!!

The girls sporting their newest uniforms for the year.. Hopefully two or three years.. haha.  Not the way these girls hustle and play..

Looking lovely ladies!!!
