FPFanatic Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Congratulations to the 18-U Challenger Express for winning the Inman-Rose Tournament. Good job also to the Brentwood Blues for finishing second and Fire & Ice for finishing third. Also, all teams are welcome to the Challenger Express tournament in Columbia in two weeks. Also, Challenger Express is looking for a pitcher to fill out its pitching staff. Please let us know if you are interested. Contact fppitcher04@hotmail.com.

mikemcgee Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Way to go ladies. I do believe my pal Tabitha Floyd plays on that team, and she obviously has a lot of talented teammates that I don't know as well as I know her. Tab is one of the best hitters I've ever seen, (23 homers at Motlow this year led the nation, 70-plus RBI and a batting average of .470-plus). She also happens to be a great young lady. Sorry to focus so much on just one player when there are obviously many good ones on the team. I just don't know them. FP, did they lose a pitcher or do they just need another one?

FPFanatic Posted June 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Mike: No, we just need another pitcher to round out the staff. You know on those hot summer days you always need at least three pitchers to get thru those 100 degree days. Tab was fantastic, she had two homers in the tournament, one was a monstrous sky shot that I thought would never come down, it was one of those Babe Ruth or Mark McGuire bombastic types; the other was a line drive shot that cleared the trees and kept going, it must have been at least 230-240 feet on a line. Lori McCoy also hit one out that if it had been moments later would have scattered some horses that were grazing in the pasture behind the fence. Come to the Challenger Express tournament in two weeks and see more of the fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemcgee Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 I'm familiar with the type of home runs you're describing. There's one that still orbits around Tullahoma that she hit against Columbia State during the season. On a clear night, you can just make it out in the northern sky.

mikemcgee Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hey SB, what summer team are you associated with? Just wondering if I've seen you guys play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPFanatic Posted June 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 SB, thanks, and its always a pleasure to watch your Brentwood Blues on the field. They have extraordinary talent and knowledge of all areas of the game. You do a fantastic job year after year with your girls. Looking forward to seeing and playing y'all again. Where are y'all at this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcoach Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Thanks! Heather did a great job yesterday & has a great supporting cast. Good Luck to you if you land you another pitcher to help your staff. She really has a lot of courage. We are going to Marietta this weekend. Should be another challenge, but looking forward to the competition. I've always enjoyed playing Mike's teams in the past.

allsports1 Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Where was the 18 & U Challenger Express held? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemcgee Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 It will be in Columbia. The tournament they're talking about the Challenger Express winning over the weekend was the Rose-Inman, also in Columbia.

FPFanatic Posted June 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 SB, good luck in Marietta. I'm sure y'all will do a good job representing the midstate with your outstanding pitching staff of Childress, Gore, and Allison and if you get Natalie back to go along with your already powerful batting order, y'all will certainly do a lot of damage. Besides Childress and Gore, who else has signed and where to? Thanks for the nice words about our girls. They all do their jobs and have great teamwork. They are all very hard workers and very intelligent ball players who all played on good teams before but did not get a lot of press or publicity, and they are not concerned about it, since every thing has worked out for them so far, as all the graduating seniors have signed with colleges. We're very happy and fortunate to be part of this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
