    Please Continue to Pray for UCA

    in Other Topics

    Posted

    I would like to ask for your continued prayers for the University of Central Arkansas campus after the deadly shootings there last Sunday night. Several Liberty-Eylau graduates (including my daughter) are students there and have really been shaken up by what they have seen and what they went through in the aftermath. The entire campus is doing their best to band together and hold on tight for the school they love so much - even through their fear. Please pray that God gives them the strength, comfort and courage to do just that.

     

     

    Loving My Lady Leps!

    WOW - it's so difficult trying to decide where to start.... I've watched you all play this game in some form or fashion since tee-ball. It has been my absolute honor! Words can never tell you how much I will miss seeing you all play together. I'll be lost - that's for sure.

     

    I know the true competitor's heart that beats within each one of you and there really is no consolation for you now. BUT - believe it or not - one day in the future, you girls will look back on this season - with all it's ups and downs - and you will be proud of yourselves for such a great accomplishment. I wish just as much as you that you had brought home gold - but it would not be possible for me to be any more proud of you than what I am. It's impossible....

     

    My goodness - just think back over all the heartache and injuries...

     

    We lost a great softball mom and you all spent every waking minute side by side at the hospital through unspeakable pain - and Megan came right back to the field and has shown some of the greatest faith and strength I have EVER seen in a girl her age. And just since the playoffs began, Lacey has played with unrelenting tendonitis in her pitching arm and gone through countless therapy sessions to keep moving forward. Heather has gone through countless therapy sessions for a sore shoulder. Coop has played without a fingernail on her right index finger. Hailey has been living out of a dang hotel for the last month. Nicki broke her nose, had to have surgery to fix it and never missed a game. Lauren was written off after the bone broke through the skin on her finger and she had to have emergency surgery to put it back together - but she worked hard and got herself back to the plate. Kaylee did a phenominal job taking over for her at first base - who knew she could do the splits so well.... haha

     

    If ever a team seemed to have the odds stacked against it - it was this one. And you are the Texas 3A Runner-Ups! Someday you girls will understand just what a fabulous testament that is to your strength, your character and your heart. And, HANDS DOWN, I wouldn't ride the bus back home with any other team in this state - in any classification...

     

    We love you LADIES!!! Hold those heads high and know with certainty that you ARE our CHAMPIONS!!!

    Great gut-check efforts by both teams. Congratulations Spring Hill Lady Panthers - you have a great team and put up a heckuva fight. Classy fans and coaches that crossed the field to congratulate the LE girls and wish them the best of luck next week.

     

    LADY LEOPARDS!!! We love you! Kaylee Treas - what can I say? You have been a force in every game helping to get us on the bus next week. What a couple of series you've had the last two weeks. I can see your Daddy's smile from here.....

    3-A softball playoffs

    I looked at the article in our local paper from the Saturday after the LE/FW series.

     

    Adding the numbers from that series to the numbers mentioned in your post would have Middlebrooks at 22-2 on the year, with 332 strikeouts in 132 innings (I think). mrknowitall will have more specific info about her ERA, etc...

     

    There's another thread below about "Returning Pitchers" that can give you some insight to your last question. Erin Kipp (sophomore from Bullard) and Alexis Cantu (sophomore from Frisco Wakeland) were both very good.

    Congratulations Lady Lions! You girls have shown once again that heart means a lot in this game. Hold your heads high and come back into the 3A district with us next year with the same fight and focus you've always had....

     

    Erin - I may just have to hit Hwy. 59 and come see what great things you'll do for ETBU! Play on girl - play on....
