Thanks for the kind words Shake & Bake. I do think this Collins/Worthy team may by suffering from idenity crisis and some over-coaching. It is always concerning when there are more coaches in the dugout than players. Let me see if I can get this right:  McClain had a team, but I guess he doesn't now, Harris has not had a team and has never had any billing as coach of one, Collins and Worthy had a team, but Collins is missing and Worthy is just kinda standing around and smiling. So should this team now be called Crush(John,John,Bubba and Chuck)?

Thanks to everyone who came out this past weekend. The weather was great, despite the scare tactics our local weather guys tried to use to discourage us. Some take these guys(including one unnamed blue) very seriously. LOL, I know its a tough job, but they are o for 2 over the last two weekends. Thank goodness!!!  I know there was some rain around and we were very lucky, actually I think that rain was around Dallas and northeast of there. Well off my weather soapbox and on to the results. Some great softball and good performances by our local teams. Don't want to forget GT Shockers 99. They were our host team and did a great job helping us with the tournaent. 10U 1.  Pasadena Angels 99 2.  GT Shockers 99 3.  Class Act 12U 1.  Texas Thunder 97 2.  Stars and Stripes 3.  Lady Stros 98 14U 1.  Intensity 2.  Orange Crush (Collins) 3.  Orangefield Young Guns We are hosting a USFA NIT October 1-3. FUTURE STARS OVER TEXAS FALL TOURNAMENT - The War Between the States - TX,LA,MS,Al We are hoping to draw teams from all Southern states, we are already getting entries, hopefully our local teams will enter early, this is going to be a big event. www.usfastpitch.com Thanks for all your support, Ronnie and Nara

Congratulations on a great tournament. I've heard nothing but good things about the organization, food, etc. We are looking foward to working with you guys this weekend. I know you will do a great job dragging those turf fields at Ford Park.

Good to see the local support for this tournament. Since there is only about one or fewer local events per month, everyone should try to take advantage of the oppurtunity to play locally. Yes, I am interested in the ribs and anything else you or anyone else has to eat. See ya at the bar-b-que booth.

Deadline for entering this tournament is Monday March 22nd!!!!!

Congratulations to all the winners.  A great weekend for softball.  Hopefully the Shockers Tournament as well as our Future Stars tournaments will have the same weather. I hope all local teams will support the USFA events as well as other local tournaments. This is a great year for softball in Beaumont with the ASA 10U State, IFA State for all ages and the USFA State for all ages. What a great oppurtunity for our local teams to play in some quality events right here at home.

If anyone is interested in hosting a USFA Tournament or has any questions concerning USFA, I am the Director for this area. I am happy that we have been able to bring the USFA State Tournaments for all age groups to Beaumont. This will be held at Ford Park as well as the Beaumont Municipal Complex. We are expecting over 150 teams for this event. 44 have entered to date. I want to encouage all local teams to take advantage of playing in this tournament. The dates for the tournament are: June 11-13. Hope to see your there. www.usfastpitch.com Ronnie Cole (409)753-3907

Congrats ladies!! Great finish in a 17 team field of Houston area teams.

I want to get some input and opinions on local teams entering local tournaments. I did some research this morning and found 19 teams in our area. I'm sure there are a few more, bringing the number to over 20.  We have local folks, myself included that have upcoming tournaments. There seems to be a real problem getting our local teams to enter early, even though they have every intention of playing in these events. The Thunder tournament this weekend has 11 locals. My Future Stars March 27-28 has 8. The GT Shockers 10U April 24-25 has 4, this event was posted December 16 and the TD asked that locals sign up to encouage the Houston and Lake Charles teams to enter. Getting teams from outside our area to play is also of great benefit for our local teams. I know they want to have good sized tounaments here and not just play each other. We are not Houston, we cannot put tournaments on the schedule and expect 40 teams to enter. Our events have to be marketed and this includes the participation of local teams. I am listing the upcoming tournaments that I am aware of. I hope all local teams will take advange of the oppurtunity to play locally and support these events. All of these tournaments may be found on the USFA website:  www.usfastpitch.com Spring Warm-Up  March 6-7 Future Stars Spring March 27-28 '99 GT Shockers Spring Sizzler April 24-25 Future Stars Summer May 1-2 Stars Over Texas Summer Showcase & Camp June 4-6 USFA State Tournament June 11-13 Not on USFA website:  IFA Memorial Day May 29-30 (IFA website) These are the tournaments I am aware of, if there are any others, any organization, list them on this thread or I will be glad to include them on this list. Please call me or the Tournament Directors if you need any information on any of these tournaments. Ronnie Cole (409)753-3907
