Hi coach Jackson here. My family and I have had a very difficult weekend. We had a car accident on the way to meet our bus for our game on Saturday. Two seconds before the crash my husband and I were dicussing the game, how important it was and our chances. In a matter of two seconds my life and feelings changed. My family is going to be ok. My husband has a broken knee cap and my seven month old daughter has a fractured skull. They will recover, and I will walk onto the field as a coach again. I love this game. I love competition. I love to win. But the biggest victory I have ever experienced was Saturday when I knew that my family was ok. I have relationships with the girls from Dickson and my girls at Creek Wood. You are all wonderful ballplayers, but most importantly you are good girls with wonderful, caring personalities. I expect you to be intense competitors on the field. Can't we all just take a step back and look at why we all know each other and respect all of the players, coaches, and parents. None of us are going to agree with each other about anything except for the fact that we all love the game. To my girls at Creek Wood I will be back as soon as possible. Play hard and stay focused on your goals. Brett told me that today is a new day and everything is ok now. See everyone soon
