Coolish Beanos

5-2, newbies, firsts, 2 losses by one run each... So we went 1-1 today. Won our second tournament game and just fell one run short in our second to finish the tournament in fourth place. A team full of players who never played softball before. Only two of the team ever played in a tournament before. A couple of players who are not favorites for habits they have, too much talking, too little filter, too much distraction, and not being where they should be on the field during plays, but good coaches seem to recognize that. Good coaches, while many too many at times because they all play on other teams, good coaches make a big difference.

So we went 5-2 for the tournament. Five wins for a brand new team of mostly new players who are not even set in positions yet. Players who, except for the two, appear to be eager to learn, good sports, and team players. Yeah, this is a very good start to the latest phase of Sunday softball. I see more tournaments and a world series berth in our future. Most of all, I see fun, for even behind, even in the losses, they were not down, didn't give up, and had fun.

Next time, I'l get a better room, try to socialize more, and the weekend will be even better.

Wish you were here...
