well there is alot of talent out there. and it is true all of us talk about the seniors and juniors and freshman, but we seem to forget about the sophomores. these girls are a great group of girls. not saying the other aren't. if anyone has been paying attention to the girls in this district, there are some great ball players there. riverdale has at least five great players, siegel has another group that is great but, the one group that has stood out to my husband and i is the girls from Blackman. we have been watching this group since they came from the middle school. we call them the "TRIO" of Blackman. Abell, just keeps getting better and better, her speed and her bat is always there. i know she isn't a pitcher any more, but when i watched her, she would always give it her all. Billot, has grown so much and she is a vaccum out in the outfield, and can do some good things at bat. and Abell's old catcher, Vanvranken, well she just keeps on growing. with her size, she will go far in college ball if that is what she is working for. we saw her get a award the other night, not sure what that is about, but a parent from Riverdale, said she is a awesome ball player, and a great catcher. we watched Blackman play Siegel last night and she has a great bat. the night before she was on fire as well. we sat and watched her at bat and she had a single to right center, two-run homerun, and another single to right. but she didn't catch that night. she is a awesome catcher and power hitter, as my husband calls her. not sure on why she didn't catch, was looking forward to see her in action. hope they all have a great tournament.
