What A Run!

Well, it's over. Tonight we lost to Portland which put us out of the tournament. But what a run we made!


Undefeated in the district, facing elimination after the first night of the state tournament, and yet these girls summoned the courage to continue their quest. As they all lined up along first base line to receive their parting gifts and just before having to go remove their banner from the fence, I walked the line, looked each of them in the eye and said, "I'm proud of you. You are a champion!"


In my book they are champions and I wouldn't trade a single one of them.
