Emily 8U Allstars

 

While Ellie has been rolling with her team I stepped-up to manage Emily's 8U Allstar team, the Black Widows. 

The Black Widows have enjoyed success. They placed 2nd place out of 13 teams in their Districts which earned the Widows a berth to Southern Ca. States in Lancaster. 

In open tournaments we placed 2nd in the Rancho Round-up tournament and 2nd also in the Irvine tournament. The Widows record was an impressive 17 and 7. 

Emily has been pitching, playing outfield and anchoring us at 3rd in the lineup. 

Not easy being the coaches kid but Emily really rose to the occasion and just battled all season long. Pitched through some tough games at times but never backed down. Showed a lot of heart and courage out on the field. 

2nd place - Rancho Round-up Tournament, May 22

2nd place - Irvine tournament, June 12. 

2nd place - Districts (Enders Elementary Garden Grove, June 19)

We placed 2nd on Fathers day so had to take this pic. 

While we were playing in the Championship game at Districts Ellie was playing on the field next to us in her Championship game - on Fathers Day to Boot. 

Won't soon forget both girls finishing in second place in their District Tournament on Fathers Day.

At States in Lancaster we won our first game and then lost 2 games to end our season. I was so proud of our 8U team and the season they had and what they accomplished.  Emily was a big part of that success.
