More All Star State Champions Photos

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS..........

Last week, on Wednesday night, Morgan's all star team won the district division.  Pretty awesome!  It was a close game, 4-1; but a great one.  Morgan threw a girl out at second and it was a great play and it was very needed at that time!  It was so exciting.  The team is a great team with great families.  We all get along so well and really have a great time together.  This weekend, we went to play for the state championship title.  It was the best two out of three games against Roxboro.  We drove to Roxboro, about a two hour drive (in the middle of nowhere).  Their first game was at 3pm, about 95 degrees out.  VERY HOT!!!!  It was a great game; we won 24-0.  We pretty much blew them out of the water.  The next game was scheduled for 7pm but we didn't get started until 9pm.  This time, the other team put up a good fight.  We were actually tied at one point in the 2nd inning.  Kind of a nail biter.  We really did not want to have to play a third game. Long story short......our team did what they know how to do best; they won 24-12.  All sorts of emotions were present.  Excitement, exhilaration, exhaustion, a bit overwhelming, and a humble pride.  The girls and their coaches deserved it; they played their hearts out and really are an incredible team.   They always thought about the next play.  We tailgated that whole day - needless to say, we were ready to pack up and go home.  We arrived home around 1:15 in the morning and PASSED OUT!  We all slept in until 11:00.  We are still in a fog from being so tired.  Hope you enjoy the photos.  

She's an ALL STAR.................

Morgan made the All Star's Softball team!!!  Her first game was last night and they won 14 to 4.  If they win the next game on Wed. night they head to state championship games next weekend.  They had an awesome game last night!  Morgan is #27.  She was the lead off hitter and her first hit was a great one!  She nailed it into right field.  She had 2 RBIs and scored one (maybe two) of their runs.  She did a terrific job as catcher.  She knows right where to "set up" for the different pitches.  Our pitcher was incredible!  We also have our cousin Christian with us this week and he was with us last night!  Corrine and Emily were gone all last week with their grandparents and cousins at Lake Hartwell.  DJ and I went Thursday to join in the festivities and Morgan stayed behind for practices.  We left the lake on Saturday morning, drove to Franklin, NC to pick up Christian, then made it home in record time for the game.  We are all a bit tired today.  

Enjoy the photos!  For some reason, our videos did not load.....hopefully will have more later this week.
