Island Girls

We have several girls on the team who have turned 9 this year and will have to play up in the 10U division this coming year.  We have a few girls who are still 8 years old who we think will be able to hang in the 10U division.  So we are moving up our team to 10U this fall to try it out.
We have several new girls that we've added to the squad as well.  Together we have a team of 11 girls.  And we have decided we are going to be called the "Island Girls".  We are a team of polynesian girls.  Of Samoan and Tongan decent.  And this will be start of another fun filled learning experience in the sport of Softball.
So while the daddies are busy coaching our sons with football, us mommies have put on our softball hats and we'll be learning and growing right along with our softball playing daughters.
We are also happy to have Epe from the neighborhood on board to help the girls.  Epe plays softball and knows the sport well.  We're excited for this season.  We know it'll be a tough one but we are willing to make that journey and learn and grow.
LET"S GOOOOO ISLAND GIRLS!!!!

Team Party 2010

Amy and Mark reserved their clubhouse for our team party..  We all met up around 1ish and slowly but surely everyone started to show up.  Got the grill going to grill patties and dogs.  We had salad, fruits, chips and tons tons of yummy goodie treats.

All the girls showed up with their family.  We had a great time swimming alll day long.  Finally at 9pm we started to clean and head home.

Definitely glad we could get together as a team and do something fun and not just play softball.  Thank you to everyone who made it such a success.  We love our WARRIORS family

Happy Summer....WARRIORS!!!!

It definitely has been a fun all-star season.

The girls have learned sooo sooo much

You can see the progression in all of them.

Kaysville Tournament

With the drama in the West Valley tournament we were also told we could not participate in the Kaysville tourn.  Ok..no prob.  Fine with us.  However, people talked and voiced their opinions and because there are no official written rules in 8u softball, we were able to play.  Otherwise, most of the teams playing would have been disqualified. 

Anyhoo, it was a busy week for all.  With family vacations and functions going on.  However, everyone came out and played and had fun.  We won all games and had a good time.  Championship game came down to our 2 all-stars team from Bountiful.  The Slammers and us the Warriors. 

Bountiful Warriors were one again victorious.  Glad we could end the summer season on top with our other Bountiful Team....  Go Slammers and GOOOOOOO WARRIORS!!!!

West Valley Classic

Pool play started Thursday July 29th.  Regular tourney games started Friday July 30th and went into  Saturday July 31.  Our first game we played against OMG Sliders.  I think over the summer, OMG teams have become our biggest opponent.  We had an early morning game time and had a hard time waking up.  Could really tell during the course of the game.  Didn't help that OMG were ready and all pumped to play.  They really came out and played.  As we had our fist LOSS of the All-Stars season during this game.  What a disappointment.  But we don't wanna dwell on that.  Just play harder and get back in it.. YEP that was the plan.
Our next game we played West Valley.  At this point we had been hearing rumors that teams are protesting our team.  For what?  We weren't really sure.  Finally in the middle of the game, our team was confronted.  Accused our team of playing and practicing together before the All Star season began.  Big lie as we have 4 new players on our team.  Told that we are disqualified because we won the previous tournaments.  No written rules of this.  If we won this tourn, we would not receive our trophies...ok, refund us our money.  And who gets disqualified for winning...LOL.  Called our team cheaters...in front of our girls.  Hold up, wait a minute..no you didn't just call us cheaters.  And all hell broke lose...
After much arguement and disagreement and talking and voicing our opponions, we were able to finish out the tournament.  And once again take 1st place..  We played hard and decided that we never want to be in the losers bracket AGAIN..  No way No how..  too many games and its tiring and long..  Good job lady WARRIORS on yet another CHAMPIONSHIP!!

OMGS Tournament - Riverton, Utah

Oquirrh Mtn hosted our next tournament of the summer (July 15-17).  By far the HOTTEST of all tourney's so far.  We changed up our in field a bit and still saw success.  We love the girls and they are playing and meshing so well together.  You can really see the growth in each girl...its amazing.  Another championship under our belts.  Good job ladies.  Each girl got another medal and t-shirts.  Yes...another tee to add to our collection.  LOVE IT!!!

SLC Champs - SLC, Utah

We played our 2nd tournament of the summer over the weekend (July 8-10).  We were 1 of 4 teams.  OMG Rage, Tville Sliders and Murray were the other participating teams.  It was originally schedule for play in Tville but yadayadayada, we ended up at Sunnyside Park in SLC.  It was a disappointing tourney only for the fact that we played the same teams over and over.  Had long waits in between games with just the 4 teams.  And just seemed like we wasted alot of time.  However, we are happy to say we came out victorious again.  And won 1st place.  Each girl got a medal, gold champion shoe laces and t-shirts.  We love getting t-shirts.  Hahaha..  We're still glad we joined this tournament.  Hopefully lesson learned for the coordinators!!!
