I have been meaning for weeks to do a preseason softball blog but I've been so busy it just never happened. I started college again in January and I have dove head first into it! I'm glad to be back and really enjoying it! It's a lot of work but it's worth it! Well I'm going to do a blog over the first weekend of softball and hopefully get back to my opinions of what this season will look like!
The Huskies played in Hawaii last weekend and I think I can say with quite a bit of certainty it wasn't exactly the weekend they hoped for. They went 4-2 dropping games to UAB and Hawaii. However I was very happy and proud to see them bounce back on Saturday and win the tournament championship! Hooch Fagaly had a fantastic weekend and was named MVP of the tournament! Bryana Walker was certainly the best pitcher of the weekend. She was lights out! I was extremely impressed with Missy Taukeiaho and Jennie McNeill! They both did wonderful in their first weekend in college softball. Overall I thought it was a good weekend. I think a lot of lessons were learned and I think in the end those to loses will only help them to be better!
OU had an amazing weekend! They won all their games and most of them in run rule fashion. Kelani Ricketts had not one but two no hitters on the weekend! The offense was already really good and they added more power with Shelby Pendley! Awesome weekend for them and they are sitting at the top of the polls because of it!
Bama has a nice weekend as well and won all of their games. I've got to be honest here I didn't really get to follow their games as close as I would have liked but I know they did well and I am excited to see how the season goes for them!
St. Edwards started their season the weekend before last and won all but 1 game! They look like they will be very strong this season! This last weekend they played two teams twice each. They won their games on the first day and lost both of their games the second day. It was two really tough teams and they really battled! I'm excited to see what they do this season!
I wish I had the time to start my own place for people to talk softball. I have a couple of places that I go to talk softball but I feel like the odd man out in all of them. I feel like I spend my time defending myself and the players and teams that are close to my heart and it's just gets to be more work than fun. I left one site for several months because the drama was too much. I've started going back some but don't most much. I just wish I had a group of people who liked the same teams and player I do. But I don't and I guess I'll just have to make do.
Well that is all I have for now! Go Huskies! Boomer Sooner! RTR Go Bama! FTG!
