It’s easy to do something after it’s accepted. It’s much harder to take a chance on something new where ridicule and scorn await you every time you fail to get a hit, make an error or lose….
These girls took a chance on a new place that did new things. Things many people considered crazy around here. But over time- they got better.
They did crazy stuff like throw sand filled rubber orbs years before it became commonplace. They lifted heavy.. they lifted fast.. They jumped on boxes in 90 degree indoor heat…Pushed sleds outside in -5. Ask em.. they’ll tell you.
They turned the barrel rather than push it… They moved fast and with purpose.
They Built PVS softball 🥎
Because of them…..
1/ Girls from 7 different states were named 1st team all state last year.
2/ Girls in Texas, Florida, California, Canada, NY, NJ, Wisconsin, Illinois, Virginia and many other states fly to Pittsburgh to learn how to throw it like them.
3/ entire organizations contract with us to run their development
4/ National Travel Teams send their players to work with us or fly us to them.
5/ NCAA 🥎 schools run our programs from D3 to the Power 5 of D1
But someone had to go first. Someone had to go through the wall and pick up some scratches and scars as they went through. They did.
True Renegades!
One could make a powerful argument that this group changed softball in Western PA forever.
It was an emotional night as we sent these girls off to College. Not a dry eye in the Gym.
To these 7 and the girls who were with them through the years- Thank You!
These girls came up short..& while they’re certainly disappointed- I’ll remember these & smile for the rest of my life.
Stay in the fight ladies! A lot teams win PIAA titles without winning the WPIAL. We’re not done yet!
Thanks for these ❤️ @Zoe56595222@ProsperiRylee
