We travelled to Fox (of the $2
gate ticket and artificial turf) with two objectives in mind: 1) win the game
to tie the record for most JV wins in a season; 2) provide opportunities to
play to girls who have worked hard and improved their game but have not had the
chance to show it as much as we all would have liked. Check and check. Behind
strong pitching, defense (Megan Hayes!), and 20 hits (including a Kelly Collins homer and a Hannah Jansen triple), we jumped out early and
added on steadily en route to a 16-2 6-inning victory.
I know this starts to get old
(does winning ever get old? Really? Uh, no.), and I admit, wordsmith that I am,
that I’m having trouble coming up with new ways to praise this team. After this
game I was talking to a former student whose daughter plays for Fox (she’s
injured, out for the season) and told him how great the girls were (not how
good of players they were). I said, “And they’re pretty good….” at which point
his daughter interjected, “No, they’re VERY good.”
We’ll just leave it there.
Join us at home for a grudge rematch against Kirkwood (this year it’s their
grudge) and the wrap up of our first JV conference championship when we take on
Ritenour on Thursday. That leaves our 3-game Hancock tournament and the finale
against Cor Jesu Tuesday. Thanks for your support.
Reminder: please let me know
about your decision on the photobooks as soon as you can. These are just a few from today because it is late.
