Tough break Coach. I'm sure it was a great game to watch...

I do have to say that today proved the "wild card" system is right (at least in the 4A West) but think that we need to "seed" the teams. For two years in a row a very good Providence team had to play us( Freedom) last year and now North Meck in the first round this year.

These were 3-2 and 5-4 games that should've been played in the second or third rounds.. Hopefully we can continue to work on the system, but congrats to all the teams tonight and good luck in the future..

Agree with you, but not going to complain, we had our chances. I will be up all night I am sure replaying this one. We could have and should have played better. The team that showed up tonight was not the same team kicking butt just a couple weeks ago. They did fight though and really showed everyone their heart above all else and that is the last thing I told them before letting them have some time with their lone senior. Maybe after everyone is done, you, us and some of the other west coaches can get together and have a chat how to make this system a bit better. I know Coach Stefanski and I would love to help make a positive difference in anyway we can. We are doing our part by volunteering for stuff and lending a helping hand when asked.

Parkland finishes the '08 season with a 6-0 loss to Parkwood in Monroe.
sorry don't know alot of the names of the girls for Parkwood but there is some talent there. The McInteer (sp?) kid is a baller. Knocked in 4 and scored 1. Parkland only managed 3 hits in the loss.
McInteer was 2-3 Good luck ladies continuing in the playoffs
Parkland led by LeAnn Flowers 2-3 and Morgan Myers 1-3
Parkland ends with it's best season since 1999 going 16-7

Thanks to the 6 seniors on Parklands team for a great 4 years.
Geneva Hardy
Toccara "Te" Harper
Cailyn "Ding-Dong" Sappington
LeAnn "T-Bone" Flowers
Meredith "Mert" Pitts
Ashley "Bashy" Myers
Ash, Ms. Pitts, and LeAnn have played together since they were 8 years old. Emotional night for these fine young ladies. Te is going to Elizabeth City, Cailyn is going to Salem College, LeAnn will be attending Forsyth Tech and Winston-Salem State for nursing, Meredith will be attending UNC-Wilmington for nursing, and Ashley will be attending Elon University this fall as the first female D-1 scholarship athlete from Parkland. Thanks girls and best of luck in the future we will miss you.

details details..

well details on the AC/Mcdowell game.. what can i say.. AC had runners on 2nd base numerous times and everytime we did. our hits went straight to mcdowell players or we had a pop up to shallow left or center.. just alot of mental errors throughout the game also.. but hats off to mcdowell.. only scoring came in top of 6th when AC made some fielding errors which proved costly.. Overall Megan Laxton pitched a good game just defense behind her slacked at times.. hate to say it and it doesnt seem right with a Monte Sherrill coached team but mcdowell was more disciplined and focused it seemed tonight.. Hate it for the seniors on the team Ashley Benfield, Jordan Poarch, and Megan Chapman.. but they have nothing to hang their heads about. Good luck to Mcdowell in next round and all other area schools. Oh and I really wish fans would keep their mouths shut about Monte Sherrill.. How quickly we forget that he was the coach that brought home all those banners that now hang along the outfield fence.

N. Meck 5
PHS 4

WP: Mooney - 2 hits, 4 K's, 7 BB's
LP: Quant - 6 hits, 11 K's, 2 BB's, 1 HBP

Roller coaster / emotional game; I for one am mentally drained, so I can imagine how the players feel. Home plate umpire did a subpar job calling for both teams and voicing actual balls and strikes, fair and foul balls which resulted in a lot of confusion at one point. So tied game 3-3 heading into 5th, N. Meck gets one in 5th then the HR in 7th. PHS battles back and gets one in the 7th. Bottom of 7th, runners on second and third base, two outs & full count (sounds like a "No Fear t-shirt right)...The pitch before that was a WP off the back stop where our runner on third had a chance to score, but got a bad jump plus the ball came back hard to the catcher....it would have been a close play at the plate, but that did not lose the game for us (we collectively needed to have played better on defense and hit more). After that pitch it went to full count and L. Quant hit a hump back line drive deep to second base where she made a good catch to end the game.

Regardless N. Meck out hit us and out played us tonight. Defense let down a couple times and resulted in runs. Mooney's 7th inning HR proved to be the game winner for them. The PHS kids fought with a lot of heart to come back, but was not meant to be. We are proud of them. Starting four and five freshmen all year long and having the results we did leave us feeling positive for the future. We lose one senior, Maddie Fletcher, who had a hit in her last AB in HS. She is a big part of this team and thank goodness we are only losing one kid, but she will be missed dearly. With a little more championship experience I think the kids could have been on the other end of this one. It was a lot to take in for the young ones and nerves may have played a role in this result. No matter how much you prepare, there is just nothing like playing in pressure cooker games to get experience for your team.

We are very disappointed, but proud of our team. Congratulations to North Meck, we always knew this would be a tough tough first round game. You guys have an awesome freshmen pitcher and a great supporting cast playing defense behind her. They could have fallen apart at one point, but held it together and played well for the win. The defense made the plays and they had some nice hits. We enjoyed playing them, from where we sat, players and fans seemed to have a lot of class. I know you guys will make it far into state's, so good luck.

How many others would be out front and face the music and say publicly what a great job the other team did and how proud they are of their own kids?? Very, very classy, but would expect nothing less from Eyesup. Tough loss....
