Haley's softball team finished up their end-of-season 4-day tournament last night - victorious, as you can see by the picture above! They had games Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night and two games on Saturday. They played their tails off and won every single game, the final in a huge rain storm!
It was such a great softball season for Haley! Coming off of knee surgery, she was really not sure what to expect of herself this year. It wasn't until just before the season started that she was even given the green light by her doctor to go ahead and play. To say the least, we all thought she might have a struggle ahead of her and she was feeling pretty nervous and insecure. She was lucky enough to play for a fantastic coach, who truly built her up, and two equally great assistant coaches (one being her Daddy). She worked hard, gave it her best and ended up being a real asset to the team. In the tournament alone she scored several runs, caught a pop fly, covered first for a crucial out and even conquered one of her greatest post-surgery softball fears by sliding home (successfully!) twice! We are really proud of Haley for having the courage to give it a go this season and for having the tenacity to stick with it until she began to see the results she wanted.
CONGRATULATIONS, HALEY!

Congratulations to Haley for getting right back in there after the surgery and healing process. Sounds like this little team really came together too. Onward and upward!
Congrats Haley!! Good for you for sticking it out and getting back in there after a tough time. Looks like your hard work and commitment paid off big time! Way to go!!
Amy- I have missed like 5 posts. Sorry! How cool to have a girl who actually plays sports and has her dad as her coach. That picture with the trophy is priceless. You need to frame it.
Woohoo, Haley!! I'm so glad the knee held up to your grit and skill. For some reason playing in the rain made those pics and the story 10 times better! I hope you planted a giant kiss on your super dad's cheek. You're a lucky girl to have such involved, supportive parents. Congratulations!
Congratulations Haley! What a great memory to have with your dad.
how awesome! congratulations!!
