It has been an amazing ride for these ladies, their coaches and their families. Their final win tonight against Pendleton 7-3 secured their championship status and their plane tickets to San Bernardino, CA for the Regional Tournament!
Congratulations to Maggie, Yarly Jasmin, Kira, Sadiann, Sammie, Makayla, Camassiah, Gracie, Stephanie, Camila, Rebecca, Natalie, and Emily along with their coaches Jimmy Brauckmiller, Sherilynn Mobley and Tony Combs. We are very excited for you all as you move to your next adventure!!
The team is flying out tomorrow morning (Tuesday) and their first game is Friday at 7:30 vs. Idaho. They will play 4 pool games (Fri, Mon, Tues & Weds) and then the semifinal games start next Thursday.
The games have been so exciting to watch. This team plays so well together and know their game. They play the field with the keen eyes to make plays without thinking twice. They battle through pitches to get the pitch they want to get out to n the bases to get themselves around in no time and run their score up to win their games!
It has been so fun to watch these three leagues come together as a team but as a community. Portland & Taborvilla have been truly inspirational in how to build a team with Powell and it has been fun to cheer the Pride on to victory!
Thank you to all the Powell families who came out to the games. The team really appreciates the support they have been receiving from everyone and love seeing familiar faces in the crowd!
