I don't like all the chest thumping going on but.....
Wow calling out a 14-15 year old girl on OFC is really uncalled for.

Saved,
Sure they were not the top flight 18u in the state, but give credit for Laser Blue win
and Central Ohio Rebels.
By the way, 2nd baseman plays with alot of heart, way out of line single out one player - stick with positives when referring to players or don't say anything at all

maybe it wasn't the worlds strongest 18U tourney but thats still doing something great being able to beat 18U teams while the nightmare are only a 14U, and having a very tough game with the Lady Lasers Blue which is a very strong 16U team and after that game playing a very well fought game with the Rebels which is a very well rounded 18U team. good job to the lady nightmare!!

Re: Any results for Final Fling in Marysville yet?
A little story for saved, which I have a few..
I have coached several sports for many, many, years, as I now am beginning to show my age!
A famous coach once told me, "it isn't the size of the dog, but the size of the fight in the dog." Perception by fans is not what is important, it is how you play your role for the team, as that is all that matters. When you get knocked down, that is ok, if you can get back up one more time that you have been knocked down.
I have been associated with and coach more athletes that fit this scale, than probably games that you have seen saved. One in particular (and you can look this up) was a wrestler named Kevin Maehl. Kevin was a sophmore at Olentangy High School, and come District tournament time, he wasn't on the radar for who was to be doing anything. He was good by standards, but the words "overrated, not many moves, too weak, and I hope I get him in my bracket" was the norm that accompinied Kevin.
Kevin didn't listen, as all that mattered was he scored one more point than his opponent, no matter what the match looked like. Kevin won the state championhip in Ohio that year for his weight class, and people added one more moniker to his calling card - "lucky"
Kevin was lucky another time and when it was all said and done, he was a 2x state champion, high school mention all american, and 3x state placer. We all need motivation and luck. Along the way over 120 opponents learned the hard lesson.
Sorry to use a "wrestling parable", but in sports, or the larger game of life, it doesn't matter.
They are stories on how athletes out work everyone else to achieve the goals the seek.
Our second baseman is a very, very, important part of our team, as is our 10th,11th, and 12th players. She epitomizes the "getting up one more time than she is knocked down", and I hope that all coaches think the opposite of this, as you do saved, with the game on the line, the bottom of the 7th, with 2 runners on and 2 outs, and us down by one - and our 2nd baseman up to bat.

Re: Any results for Final Fling in Marysville yet?
I have seen alot of the top 14U teams in the state play and the Nightmare are one of the top.
Though I do not like the chest thumping. It gets old on this website. People just do not understand that a team is just 1 injury or two away of going from a great/tough team to an average team. Count you blessings and be humble. Life has a way of bringing you back do to earth.
Good luck at Nationals to the NM and all the other Ohio teams. Make us proud.

Re: Any results for Final Fling in Marysville yet?
People are getting pretty sensitive with the chest thumping thing.
I recognize most names on the posts, hey, make papa proud!
Get back to the weak 18u thing, whooaaa - Lasers Blue is not weak, I would say they are the best 16u team in Ohio. Now, the Nightmare might of caught them off guard, and can win 1 in 25 against them, but this just happened to be their one. I was at the game, and believe me, there was no hoopin, hollering, we are the champions by the gcka team after the game, only respect for the Lasers Blue.
There was also a couple other good 18u teams to go there, when you mention the Swarm, and the Rebels, and the GFOD thunder. Hey, they might not be able to beat the grand slam, or go to the ASA gold tournament, but they can compete. You might be surprised by the talent on the Swarm, Rebels, and Thunder - add the Blue and NWO and NCO is alive and well in softball.
Oh, I guess I am a Nightmare fan because I like to see them play, along with the Laser Blue, Laser Green, GFOD Thunder, Ohio Swarm - oh my gosh - I'm a softball fan!!!!! Call the doctor, call statman ray, I'm going to Porkies for dinner!!!

Re: Any results for Final Fling in Marysville yet?
I was at the Marysville Tournament and watched the 18U division. I witnessed every team member from the Nightmares contribute and come through and all played with"Heart" and with execution of skills and plays. This team was very consistent in each game.
I saw the coaches and staff performed as leaders and teacher with appropriate behavior even when calls didn't go there way. I also saw parental and fan support. I saw very good teams/opponents adn they appeared not to quit or give up. The weather and food was great the tournament was ran very well and I felt I was on vacation.
This was the Nightmares weekend and they have what it takes to "get er done" and continue to win all the way to the Nationals in Normal Ill. Good luck to all teams in all Nationals adn pray no one gets hurt.
My money was worth spent.

Re: Any results for Final Fling in Marysville yet?
The Classics 12U had a very good team. The pool play doesn't reflect how good they were as they had to put a team together on short notice and one of there L was not being able to play. We found that out Sunday as most did that t they were better than a third place team in pool play Sunday. Good job classic, you have a good team.

Re: Any results for Final Fling in Marysville yet?
Just typing in this morning and have no ties with Nightmare what so ever. First, how many 14's even sign up for an 18 tournament? Second, when they sign up they do not know who is in attendance. Third, they show up and play whoever is on the other side of the field. Fourth, I guess they went out and did it.
Lastly, they went home with the hardware and the hardware states 18U winner, not strong field, weak field, hang nail, sore foot, 18U winner. that's it, bottom line.
Congratulations to them and good luck in your next roadtrip.
Gotta tip your hat to hard work...

Re: Any results for Final Fling in Marysville yet?
I feel better now that we were beat by the eventual champs!!
My above comment was not made as a negative remark against any team. The Lady Rage 16U Blue is a first year team that was put together in Feb & March. Our first tournament were got run spread in a pool play game and then in bracket play. The next tourney were played the same team that run spread us and we cut the score in half. So this weekend we go 2 - 1 in pool play and lose a game to the Stardusters in bracket play that we had a 2-0 lead until they had some hard hits and a couple errors from my girls. I used this to judge that my girls are gelling as a unit and are playing better together as a team and that the hard work is starting to pay off.

Re: Any results for Final Fling in Marysville yet?
Not too much a fan of the self proclamation either. Seems like the one post from kgbgm must be a relative to give up to minute reports on a player hitting a dinger.
Still nice for a 14u winning 18u, but keep "daddy yoyo on the low down" lol

This is getting silly, nobody is chesting beating, excited yes. It's not everyday a 14u TEAM (you win as a team and lose as a team) wins an 18u tournament! Are not most of us who are cheering, watching and posting relatives?!
