Thanks for the compliments. CF you're right, it is always fun watching these young ladies compete at the next level and I know you have helped many make it there.

Yes, we were able to get first place in Lexington, SC. The SC Bandits always hold great tournaments and we enjoyed the tough competition.

 

WCU signees

We are thrilled not only for Samm Keppel and Sam Stepp, but three other NSR enrollees have committed to WCU: Beth Hauser from North Surry, Ashley Adams (Walters State/South Caldwell) and Chelsea Akers (McMichael).

So far during the NCAA Early Signing period, NSR enrolled softball players have signed with Western Carolina, Appalachian State, Lenoir Rhyne, Pfeiffer, Methodist, Lees-McRae and Charleston Southern and we expect others to follow in the days to come. All 24 of our senior players are well on their way to accepting scholarship offers this year.

Please understand, these kids got and earned the scholarships on their own abilities, athletic and academic. At NSR, we are not attempting by any means to take all or the yeoman's share of credit for these kids signing. We are a conduit to help in most situations through professionally conducted promotions and communications. We work as part of the team effort that goes into getting these kids opportunities. In fact, much of the credit goes to the high school and travel team coaches who selflessly taught these kids the skills they needed to succeed. Moreover, they worked diligently to put these kids into tournaments that allowed college coaches to see them play at the top of their game. That's not to mention all the team Moms and Dads who have sacrificed time and money to get kids into uniforms, practices and games.

We honor and pay tribute to everyone who has had a hand in helping each prospect. But, we love these kids and work hard to do our part, so please allow us the privilege of being proud, too. Congratulations all.
