Well, our Mighty BB's came in with another win today!! With a score of 10-7, they did a GREAT job and didn't even have to have home bats to win the game! Piggy played short stop, pitcher and 1st base and had 3 hits with 3 RBIs!! She did a great job!. They ALL did! They are making good hits and doing good base running.
We played the same team we played last weekend and the coaches were so awful! One coach scolded a player asking her if she had "any brains, and if so you should use them"! This team is from a neighboring town and their coaches and parents are acclaimed for being that of the "redneck" sort. Not only in softball, but in football and baseball as well. It is very discouraging to see a coach, and often times parents, berate a child in the middle of a game in front of dozens of spectators. At this age, the kids are not able to shrug off these comments. They need to be encouraged at this point and be praised for every effort, whether right or wrong and be pointed in the right direction.
Kudos to OUR coaching staff. There has NEVER been one harsh word or derrogatory comment made during a game or even in practice!! EVERY comment is positive, even if they make a mistake!! Way to go MGSA coaches!! Well done!
