I’ve been avoiding posting this… I had one of my worst games in a long time last weekend. I got in my head, made errors, and the more I tried to fix it, the worse it got.
The soul-crushing part? It was in front of my new college coach. It was humbling.
A consistently solid player, I had to swallow my pride and fear and have that post/game conversation. Luckily, Coach Kellems couldn’t have been more understanding and supportive.
So although there may have been tears later that night, I realized that 1 bad game doesn’t define you. Resilience is how you respond when things don’t go your way.
Bad games are going to happen, I just pray that you don’t have THAT game in front of your new coach 🤦♀️ 💕
👏MAKE IT HAPPEN👏
HAVE YOURSELF A DAY, KID! 💣🥎🔥
Cheyanne Martinez came up BIG for her Northgate High School team against North Gwinnett in the Sweet 16 WIN-OR-GO-HOME game!
💥 First inning: With a 2-1 count, she launches a THREE-RUN BOMB to put her team up early!
🔥 Bottom 7, tied 4-4 with 2 outs. Bases loaded. Back at the plate with another 2-1 count, Cheyanne delivers a clutch single to WALK IT OFF and send Northgate to Columbus for the ELITE EIGHT! 🏆
Talk about showing up when the lights are brightest! Two huge at-bats in two pressure-packed moments. That's what it's all about!

Foul ball etiquette: Do you give it to a stranger's kid? Hosts debate this playoff game dilemma, agreeing the kid who snagged it deserved to keep it. #SportsDebate#FoulBall
It's tough when a chapter closes. After 4 years of playing every position and giving her all, Cameron Greene played her last softball game. Proud of the young lady she's become. #SeniorNight#Sports

A heartfelt thank you to Candy Southern and a reflection on Etowah’s playoff journey. Senior pitcher Reagan Dooley's determination in the face of elimination was truly commendable. #Softball#Sportsmanship
