Had a blast playing in the Heartland College Showcase Tournament this weekend! We finished pool play at .500, but unfortunately Sundays games got rained out.
I had a great weekend in the circle, competing against two very strong teams:
vs. Nebraska Gold National
| 6.0 IP | 3 Ks | 1 ER | 1.30 WHIP |
vs. Colorado Stars Ruiz 16U
| 6.0 IP | 3 Ks | 0 ER | 0.883 WHIP |
Grateful for the opportunity to compete and continue growing each time I step on the field. We have a weekend off and then we’re back at it in the USA KC metro championship.
Top Gun Heartland College Showcase INVITE Division schedule is out! 🥎
Excited to hit the dirt with these ladies again this weekend, this time a little closer to home.
Come check out the ⭕️s and catch some competitive softball!

The difference between good and great isn't talent. It's coachability.
After last night's game, I saw some mixed reactions about the conversation Coach Glasco had with NiJaree Canady, and honestly I was shocked.
My first thought was simple: That's what good coaches do!
Great coaches don't just celebrate athletes when things are going well.
They challenge them when the moment demands more.
They speak to the leader, the competitor, and the potential they see in that athlete.
Sometimes that conversation is encouragement. Sometimes it's correction. Often, it's both.
And great athletes understand that.
Being coachable means you can be corrected without becoming offended. It means you don't let pride get in the way of growth. It means you don't spend your energy worrying about who saw it or who heard it. You focus on the message, not the audience.
The athletes who get recruited, earn playing time, and become leaders aren't usually the ones with the most talent. They're the ones who can take feedback, make adjustments, and get better.
Grit. Accountability. Coachability.
Those qualities will take an athlete farther than talent alone ever will.
A coach who cares enough to challenge you is investing in you.
When correction comes, don't get defensive... get better.

One more day with this crew in Arkansas!
1-1 in bracket play today after a 3-0 start yesterday. Headed to Championship Monday!
We’ve got work to do, but I’d take this group in the fight every single time. 🥎🔥
Started off pool play with a battle today — scoreless through 6 innings! I threw 5.2 innings, giving up only 3 hits with 2 strikeouts and finished with a 1.235 WHIP. Proud of the way we competed and excited for the rest of the weekend!
What an amazing night! Our Os team got to play softball with our Exceptional friends, and it meant so much to all of us. So many laughs and smiles; I don’t know who had more fun, us or them.
Great night at @sfccmo_softball! We came up short the first game, but responded well and won the second. In the circle, I threw 3 strong innings, allowing 2 hits with 3 K’s , no walks or runs. At the plate, I went 2-5, consistently making solid contact, putting the ball in play.
State bound 💪
Good luck to our girl @LucyDampf and her team, the Grain Valley Eagles, as they fight for a state title tomorrow! 🩷🦅🏈
Time to soar! #BeOriginal
Fell short in the semifinals this weekend against a tough 18U team, finishing .500 overall. Proud of how we competed as a group. I had a strong weekend in the circle and put together some solid at bats; just couldn’t quite find the gaps. Excited to keep building from here.
The Earl weekend ⭕️❤️honoring our founders.
Beautiful weather, tough competition, banner reveal & another bracket run. Semifinal finish—fell 3–4 to the eventual 18U Gold champs.
Proud of this group. They respond, reset, & keep getting better every tourney.

Another weekend. Another trip to the ship. 🏆
Back-to-back championship appearances to start the season. Proud of this group—tough, resilient, and getting better every time out.
We’re right there… not finished. ⭕️🔥
