Steve, nothing but respect for you, always have, always will, but its cool, feel free to call me out, but lets have all the facts first. My team consists of 9 girls that play Tallmadge Little league, yup little league, (who plays that anymore?). The Tallmadge Little League boarder consists of Tallmadge, Mogadore, Suffield and Brimfield. ALL 9 of my girls live in Tallmadge, and my sub player is from Brimfield. The Silver Creek player you referenced is one of my players who also plays for Silver Creek, feel free to check out our team banner! The Ohio Outlaw player you reference is 8 years old and is a complete STUD, who also by the way plays Tallmadge Little League, and to think if she would have played in ANY of our games with us this year, WOW... she to is in our team picture/banner. So, that leaves us with our one guest player. It should be noted that she played due to one of my girls having COVID and could not play that weekend. Yes, she pitched against the Ohio Stingrays who by the way are an awesome team, very well coached with some great girls! But let's not forget that there is another side to the game called offence, which we did awesome. I don't believe anyone here would argue with me when I say our defense is outstanding! In regards to the Finesse game, that guest pitcher came in and threw one inning to close the game, the score was 6-2.
Look, I love girls softball and coaching this "Little team from Tallmadge", and I get it, we are a class "C" team, and no, we cant run with the Lasers and Outlaws type of organizations, their amazing, but we are holding our own right now, and these 10 year old girls are leaving it all out on the field. If you feel as though you need to call me out, that's ok, I actually have not problem with it. In fact, if all the coaches don't believe my team should get any votes, it's cool, we will still be out on the field playing the game we love every weekend! Funny, I was just introduced to this "Coaches Poll", and this is only my second week here, not sure it's for us.... we will kindly show our little "c" team back to their room. Nothing but love for all you guys and the hard work you put into these girls, molding them into the ladies they will become!
Best of luck to you all, please give the vote you were going to give to me, to Valley Extreme.
