St. Louis Diamond Cats

(05/31/05) - Well, we did it. We got 2nd in the Diamond Cats NSA qualifier this weekend and earned our berth to Nationals. Click on the picture or title above and the link will take you to the Nationals website. They have great information about the week and what to expect in Chatanooga! We discussed our options and decided we thought we would go to Chatanooga, Tennessee and play in the "B" nationals. Since our hitting is still not quite where we thought we would be, we will be much more competitive at that level. Now, however, we will have to play state at Cape Girardeau instead of St. Louis. So, we are gathering all the information we need to get this switched. We will get the hotel information to you as soon as we have it. The "B" state tournament is the same weekend as the "A" tournament at Ozzie's. It will be June 17th, 18th and 19th. If we have a game Friday night, we can carpool girls down early and parents can meet us after work if necessary. We will work this all out somehow. The girls played well this weekend. 2nd place is not something to be ashamed of. We earned our berth to nationals and had some really good games this tournament. We may not have ended it the way we would have liked, but we had many positive things come out of these games. Hold your head up and let's look forward to State and now Nationals! Way to go, Team!
