2010 Class Signings!

[1Slapper]

Not bad if 6 2011 have committed and 4 are Worth girls, all going to Div 1 schools.

 

Ok...how many more times is this going to be said! I have seen this on several threads! And "Division 1" is such a broad statement!!!

[5-Sport Dad]

Your jealousy precedes you, shortgamer... What happened? Did you get cut or not make this team in a tryout?

 

I say ANY young lady that gets an opportunity to play in college...regardless of the classification or status and even full-ride or not...is a WINNER! It's a privilege, not a right AND it's usually a payoff for a LOT of hard work, blood, sweat and even tears...oh, yeah, and even politics, sometimes. (there, feel better now?)

[1Slapper]

No jealously here dude! We beat you guys! ...and I never felt bad

[lovethissport]

Seriously......Slapper1??!! Not really sure what point, or lack of, you're trying to make.

 

You beat......WHO CARES?

 

Of course Div 1 is going to be broad, it covers many schools across the nation with many different levels of programs. That being said, I trust you weren't minimizing these young ladies accomplishments. Surely you do know that NCAA Division 1 athletics is still the pinnacle crown of achievement for an athlete, regarless of your opinion of their particular program.

 

Don't downplay a school, a program, an athlete, just because it doesn't fit your profile of success. There will be athletes winning Gold medals this week who physically worked harder than I could ever imagine, standing along side athletes who used a broom and swept ice. Both acheived their pinnacle crown of achievement......in what worked best for them. And I dare not downplay either.

 

p.s. more than 6 2011 girls have committed to D1 schools and they aren't all Worth girls.

And from the Softball Travel Teams thread...

 

Then you guys should have won nationals!!!

 

Perhaps.

 

But that wasn't really our primary emphasis or major goal or the way we prepared or the way we made lineup decisions all summer long. While we enjoy winning and enjoy winning championships, getting to watch a whole team of girls (several who have been around for 9-11 years) get tons of scholarship money to play a game they love at the Division I collegiate level is WAY better and far more satisfying than winning ANY championship. We set a game plan, and so far, it is working out and we are very, very happy about that. In 5-6 years when their collegiate careers are over and they walk away with a diploma paid for by playing a game, my guess is that the missing Nat Champ trophy won't even come to mind.

Good explanation, Coach, but obviously not good enough...

OK. Envy or resentment. Regardless, why you hatin' on Worth?

Maybe because the Worth organization is always trying to "Act" like the best organization in Tennessee...Here is a news flash, YOU aren't! Care to say what Worth (any age group) has won or even been a "factor" in?

Maybe I should rephrase, I am proud our daughter plays for Micheal Connell (Worth Gold), dont know any of the other Worth teams or coaches. Cant speak for them. And Div 1 would be UT Knox, UT Martin, UT Chatt, Lipscomb, MTSU, Tenn Tech, Louisville, All pretty good programs in my opinion.

Obviously, you're not payin' attention to detail. Won plenty over the years, but not on here to brag.

 

However, would you and slaphappy care to tell us who your respective teams are? Maybe we could set something up after the HS season and, then, we can quit all this criticizin' and yappin'. I'm sure, since y'all know so much, you know who to call...

 

Look forward to hearin' from ya.

I would be honored if my daughter has the chance to play for any of these programs.
