Observations from The Battle of the Border

First off, thanks to all that supported our event. The Nation Ford High School Facility is something the school should be very proud of. Coach Michael Kidd and his staff were amazing hosts.

It was neat to have the Middle Schoolers this year. There is so much talent on the horizon folks! The girls are very athletic at this young age and its neat to see.

The Future Stars Game was loaded with D1 prospects. I really was impresses by Emily Usiak out of Weddington. She has a cannon for an infield arm and plays the game the way its supposed to be played. There is a ton of talent coming out of Union County that's for sure. Madison Arroyo is a gamer as well. Jordan Lugibihl has great speed. All of these young ladies seemed to have the talent to play on this level.

Upper Class was a ton of fun. Bradlee Holeman and caitlin Kurtz are great players and had a nice game 1 pitching duel. Dominique Wilson (last second call up from Future Stars Game) and Chelsea White had another great matchup in game 2. Dominique even his a 3 run homer to go with her pitching win, eventually securing the MVP honors,, Yes she is only a rising 10th grader.

College Coaches,, you better start chasing this young lady.

Even our tiebreaker game went extra innings before the red team finally secured the win in extra innings of the extra game.

Kaylie Farmer won the HR Derby

Shea Shefte has a superb arm at catcher, she threw many runners out with perfect throws.

All the girls were very talented and a lot of fun to work with

Can't wait for year 3!


Thanks again
