Predator Throwdown 2012

Tournament held in Tooele. 12u had 6 teams participate. 10u had 4. Girls played their game. HotHotz taking 3rd behind a very good Inferno and Utah Elite team.. No mistaking these will make our girls work hard. But that's the kind of games we like. It makes us better and motivates everyone.

Boom signed up last minute.. But we figure every chance we get to play, we'll take it.. It was a good experience. We learned alot. Ended the tournament in 2nd place. Not bad at all

Wacky Warriors 2012

This has become one of our most favorite tournaments to do. Thankfully our teams have been able to participate. For one, all funds are going to a great cause "CANCER" and its fun with the different activities and contest going on. And you have an excuse to just be wild and wacky :) Check out the tournament info at www.wackywarriors.org. During the skills contest our girls Huntyr (12u) and Josie (10u) as well as Huntyr's sister Breah (14u) took first place for HomeRun hitter.

It was Hot Shotz official first tournament as first year 12s. It was a good experience. We faired well against the first year teams. We had to try harder against the more experienced team. But it was still good fun and we enjoyed the experience.

Utah Boom finished 3rd in the tournament. Not too bad at all.. The girls had a good time and you can see the progression in them all.. Bummer I didn't get any pictures of them..

So enjoy some silly pictures of our Hot Shotz girls..                                                                                                    

Players this fall: Daisy, Harlie (not pictured), Huntyr, Kamora, Katelynn, Keisha, Alyxx, Aislyn, Tylor, Malia and Mandee

Triple Crown -- Park City 2012

Park City play was a good experience for our girls. We played teams from Utah, California and Nevada. After winning all our pool games, that put us in the upper bracket play. Good job for our girls. We easily won our first bracket game. Then it was the battle of the undefeated teams, us (HS) and Athletics. We struggled with our bats. But our defense held them.. Finally after battling hard they went up and won the game. Put us in the losers bracket. Weather turned for the worst. We played rage who we beat in pool and lost. End of the tourn and season for us.. So sad to end it as we felt we could go all the way ;( live and learn. We'll get them next time.

Park City Cont...

So pool play is done with. We had 4 games total. Played 3 Southern Cali team (Rage, Rampage, Majestix) and 1 team from home here in Utah (DiamondHeels). All games were played in Park City - Treasure Mtn Fields. The scenery was sooo beautiful. To be that close to the mountains. And the weather was perfect. Not too hot and with a cool breeze. Loved it. The girls played well. Had a few nail biter games. But pooled it out and won all games seeding us 1 in our pool. And in the GOLD bracket. Winning that first game against So Cal Rage gave us parents confidence that we can hang as we thought back to our experience in Vegas ;). Defense is on point. Pitching, fielding..everything. Our team has been struggling with their bats but fortunately we've had some good hits to help us get on board. It definitely has been a team effort with the girls and coaches and we're loving their success. Today will be their first bracket game. Good luck Hot Shotz! Here we go.....

Triple Crown 10u - Park City

Today starts our biggest tournament yet.  A week long of activities and games right here in our own backyard.  We are sooo excited for the girls.  And nervous too..LOL.

Our team did not participate in the skills portion of it.  But the girls and coaches did go to opening ceremonies and walked the parade.  Coach Julie made the banner and cordinated the girls costumes.  We went as hula girls.  hahaha  Alooooohhhhaaa.  It was last minute .. all good, the girls look beautiful and had such a fun time in the parade shouting their cheers and just being proud to represent their team.. Afterwhich they were able to trade pins with the other teams.  That was probably the high light of the evening.  Seeing all the different cool pins.  I love this and soo glad the girls could experience a ol' sooo fun part of softball!!!

Now the rest of the week will be time to put in work!!  On the field.  Here we go HOT SHOTZ!!

10u Brigham City Invitational

 In continuous preparation for the 10u Triple Crown this week in Park City we played another 10u tournament.  This time around in Brigham City.  Thankfully it was only a Friday Saturday tourn. 
There was a total of 11 teams playing.  It was a great turnout. We noticed we play alot of different teams out in BC.  That always make the far trek bearable.  ;0)

We went 2-0 in pool play.  Our 2nd pool game was against a team we have never played Southern Idaho Ice.  It was a very good game.  They went up first on the scoreboard and made us fight our way back into the game.  They had very good batters and a good team overall.  Luckily we came back and won the game by 1 point.  ..

We went undefeated the whole tournament and played the Trementon Sliders in the Ship game.  This would have been the 3rd tournament we've played the Sliders in the Ship game.  They are a very good team.  We won with a school of 7-4. 

The girls got Nike bags for their reward.  The girls love their bags although the moms would have preferred the beach towels.  hahaha. 

Good job ladies.  Hot Shotz HooRah!!!

10u State Tournament

In preparation for the 10u Triple Crown in a few weeks our HS team will be doing tournaments in the 10u division.  The ASA State Tournament being one of them. 

Games started early Friday morning and we were done by late afternoon Saturday.  Which was nice and we got to rest easily for the sabbath..

Aint gonna lie, we easily won games this tournament.  And I don't say it in a bragging way.  The girls have just soo much confidence playing up in the 12u division that playing 10s comes easily.  Well at least thats how I see it.  Haha!!  There are still some good teams in 10u that we need to turn it up on.. Like the Sliders!  They have a very fast pitcher and a good team.  So when we play them, we really need to bring our A game.  Girls bats where hot this tournament.  Everyone hit that ball and made crucial plays and scores.  I love it .. And of course Ms HUNTYR hit one OVER THE FENCE.  Good stuff.. We did play a very good Sliders team in the ship game.  We won with a score of 7-4.  Congrats to our 10u team for taking the State title this year.  Thats big deal for us.. Great tournament!!!
