A few of the girls younger sisters and cousins have hopped on the softball wagon. They too started out at the Bountiful Bonnet Ball league. Their team did well during league played and they have made the all-star team who is known as the Dirt Devils. Dash N Splash was their first tournament and they played well. Losing by 1 point in the semi game to place them 3rd in the tournament. Good job Dirt Devils!!!! Next tournament in West Valley next week!!!

Wasatch Invitational in Heber City
6/14-15
Best of the West in Price was to go down this weekend. When it was cancelled we all wanted to play and was able to get into the Wasatch Invitational in Heber City. They didn't have a 10u age division but Boom went ahead and played. Heber a beautiful lil town out of Park City. And the weather was just perfect..well most of the time at least.
Games started early Friday morning for both teams. We both won our first pool games (HS vs Tsunami and Boom vs Roosevelt Rumble 12u) which put us all in the Division I/Upper bracket. Total of 8 team in Div I and 7 in Div II. Teams in our bracket were Hot Shotz, Boom 10u, Thunder, Sliders, Surge 2000, Fast&Furious, Carbon Dirt Devils.
Boom didn't get too far in the tournament and played the allowed 4 games. 2 pool 2 bracket. They were put in the difficult bracket and played some tough teams. They were not shot out during their games so we def are proud of them. Now back to work and prep for the upcoming 12u season when they'll be facing some of these same teams but definitely with a better outcome.
Hot Shotz girls played their game this weekend. And just stepped up all around. Early on they were put in the losers bracket by Surge. Our favorite team to play :). But they battled their way back. Winning Thunder, Fast & Furious and Sliders in some very good games. Winning the Championship game vs Surge with a 4-2 score. And pushing an IF game where we loss with a score of 4-3. Its all good!! Defense was amazing this weekend especially during our ship and IF games. Outfielders were hussling and catching those fly balls. Infield charged and fielded those hits to them. Pitchers hitting their spots and doing a good darn job. It was an wonderful sight to see. I know they have it in them and they def proved it in Heber City. Our bats were hot as well. Everyone hit that ball. S/O to our HomeRun Hitters Kamora (3) and Huntyr (1).. SECOND PLACE finish is not bad at all. Good job Hot Shotz.

Copper Classic 12u
5/31-6/1
Our Hot Shotz girl played in Copper Classic this year. 16 teams total with 2 brackets- upper silver and lower copper brackets. We played our pool games vs Revolution and Surge. It was an interesting game against Revolution. Only b/c the pitcher threw her change up most of the time. And maybe it wasn't intentional but thats what it looks like for us. Or even it she threw her heat pitch it still came off slow. We struggled bad. And I realize that we really need to learn to be patient.. really patient. We were able to finally get on board with 2 runs. At the last inning they bring out their closer pitcher who was a lil faster and the girls finally was able to make contact. Not sure thats what they intended on doing.. oh well :). We won the game 6-2.
Surge is always fun to play b/c its such good competition. And after the last time we played I'm sure they wanted to get us bad. And that they did. Well barely. LOL. Beating us 2-1. It was a good game.
We played a total of 5 games the whole tournament being knocked out by Liberty with a score of 10-2. Sad. I know we can beat these teams. We'll just keep working at it and get them the next time. No pictures accept for the Silver bracket..
Hey..we did good in making the Upper/Silver bracket. Thats something to be proud of. hehe.

10U Cleat Cleaner
Boom played in SoJo this past weekend in the Cleat Cleaner tournament. It was nice to finally play a tournament. There were a total of 6 teams in attendance. Boom, Hive, Hot Shotz, Crush, Thunder and Voodoo.
Played Crush and Thunder in pool and then Crush and Hot Shotz in bracket and won all games. Met up with Hive (our nemisis..lol) in our 3rd bracket game of the tournament. That was a nail biter game. Fortunately we were victorious with great at bats and good defense. Proud of the girls. Now we wait for the winner from the losers bracket to play the Championship game.
and who else should it be ... HIVE :). Different story though. Bats were not there this time around. Defense struggled and here we go to an IF game. Same thing again and finally we finish in second. There is alot of work to be done. Still very proud of them. We'll get back out there and practice practice practice and win the next one.
Big shout out to our HomeRun Hitters ... Josie Vaenuku (3), Bubbles Leakehe and Daisy Taloa (2). Good job ladies!!!
Players: Shambre, Teya, Daisy, Josie, Mary, Deshani, Dana, Kensey, Janae, Abby and Bubbles
Coaches: Foi, Gil, Rusty

Thunder Rumble Tooele
5/3-5/4
After our disappointing finish that last tournament in Kaysville, we were unsure as to how our girls would do this weekend. However, we have been working hard at practice fixing what we lacked this last tournament. And I can proudly say that it paid off. b/c this weekend we sure did come home as CHAMPS. Our defense really pulled through and our bats were on fire. Everyone played a big part in our success this past weekend. The girls were having fun and everything just went right.
10 team participated in the 12u division. We got 1st seed in the Upper Bracket with Surge 2000, Fast & Furious, Evolution ’01 and Attitude Roadrunners. Good teams in our bracket. We beat Surge 10-2 in the semi-finals. They played F&F to determine who would play us in Championship game. We won 7-1 vs Surge to become Champions. They were not happy…Oh well..Hahaha.
Shout out to our homerun (over the fence) hitter HUNTYR Ava during the ship game .. No surprise there!!!

Congrats to our Hot Shotz team taking FIRST PLACE at the Tooele County Thunder Rumber .. And as a treat the coaches are providing pizza and go-karting at the Miller Sports Park. I think that was the real motiviation to win. But hey… whatever it takes :)

Bullets Friendly
I think today was the first day of summer LOL. The weather was perfect for softball. The sun was out and it was warm. I think we may finally be over the cold wet spring weather we've been having..
Both teams (Boom & HS) were not playing this weekend so we decided to get our original Warriors team together to play as a team in the Bullets Friendly. Of the original team, 9 girls are still playing softball. Unfortunately Bubbs, Asia and Dana had other obligations and could not make it. So we picked up Tuli, Katelynn and Keisha. 
Although our record was 1-2 losing to Tsunami and Inferno the girls did well. I'm excited to see where they each individually take the sport. I hope they all had as much fun playing together as it was for me to watch them play.
Huge shout out to the dads who stepped in and coached the girls.. Foi, Will, Lance and Kirk
And to our players who make watching softball so much fun ..
Standing: Keisha, Kamora (Pitcher), Huntry, Shakel, Bubblegum
Kneeling: Katelynn (Pitcher), Josie, Daisy
Sitting: Tuli (Catcher)
It was so nice to see Mark Ibrahim who helped coached the Warriors 8u team back in the day. The girls were very excited to see him. He was an amazing coach and taught the girls and our husbands alot about the game.
