Had an awesome time at Junior Select Day at Westfield State! Thank you Coach Hough for a great visit and for showing me all that Westfield State has to offer. I really enjoyed getting to know some of the girls, meeting the coaches, and learning about the strong team culture and program!
Thank you for this opportunity 🦉🦉
@CoachHough413@DynamitesLasser
I can’t even put into words how this moment feels. I am so incredibly proud of this group of girls!
They bought into our program, our culture, and made adjustments every step of the way. GRIT (2026 Slogan)— Goals, Resilience, Integrity, and Team — and this group embodied TEAM more than ever. They were constantly hyping each other up, passing the bat, and giving everything they had on defense. Our pitchers stepped up every time we needed them in the circle and were always there supporting their fellow Tigers.
Lastly, I love the support we receive from our entire staff. Everyone has a role, and whenever needed, they step right in. As always, thank you to my right-hand woman/work wife, Coach Riss, for always helping get our girls ready; Mr. Greco for coming to almost every practice, every game and bringing the girls waters/snacks, Kirby and Coach Fox; our trainers, Kris and Maddie, for keeping our girls healthy and all the bad juju out of the dugout; Coach G for working with the girls in the weight room; and Raph and Sandra for always making sure the girls have everything they need.
We are also so grateful for the continued support from Dr. Harrison, Mr. Cabral, TPS, and the entire Taunton community.
Our biggest thanks go to SRO Chaves and the crew who volunteered to escort the Tigers back into the city. This never gets old.
