Fun in the Sun (USSSA)
The BallHawks come out with something to prove this
weekend and did so by going 7-0 in Jackson, Tn. scoring 52 runs
while only giving up 11. We did not take the bats with us last week
but did this week and the defense was great as always. Congrats
to Courtney Petty, she ruled the circle this week both
mentally and physically. Also great
job Becky behind the plate you kept runners close to their bag all
weekend. The whole team played great and you deserve every bit of
praise that you received this weekend! Thanks to all the good competition
- lady thunder - Dyersburg Angels - MC Magic - Downstate Rippers
-Collierville Dragons - Xtreme Kaos - MIDDLE TN STRIKERS.
Do not let up, we
have 3 state tourneys left on our schedule. Go Hawks!!
Optic Yellow Fever
(usfa)
The BallHawks come out flat and never really got it
together. The defense started out slow but got better as the weekend
went along. The bats never got hot and it showed in the results.
You cannot win ballgames if you don't score. We will be back in
Jackson next weekend but we need to take our bats with us this time
around. Go Hawks!!
USFA Summer Bash
7
The BallHawks finish 2nd the Summer Bash. We really
played poorly on saturday but managed to right the ship some on
sunday. Going to the losers bracket in game 1 forced us to have
to win 4 in a row to get back to the the ship. When we reached that
ship we met a tough Comets97 team that we had nothing for. You can't
make any mistakes against teams like this, and we made many. Congrats
to the Comets and all the other good competition this weekend. Congrats
to Big K on her All Tourney Award we are very proud of you! We are
also VERY proud of every girl that puts on the purple, you may make
mistakes but you never quit and you do leave it out on the field.
It's been said before and here it is again "This WILL be a
good ball team". Rest a week and we are headed west. Up next
is Jackson,TN. Go Hawks!!
NSA Triple Play
The BallHawks finish 2nd in the Triple Play. Wins
over Wildfire, Goodlettsville Storm(2-1), and Worth97(4-3) sent
us to the championship in the winners bracket. The Hawks would fall
to a good Worth team 7-0 in game 1 and in dramatic fashion in the
"if " game 5-4. Congrats Worth97. The bats were still
cold but the defense really stepped up and kept us in some games
this weekend.Good job LiL K for shouldering the load in the cirlce
, Courtney and Big K will be back next week. Let's get those bats
warmed up Wed. night and come out firing next week in Franklin.
Cost of the tourney : $185
Price of a good bat : $299
Seeing Worth's pitching 3 straight games : PRICELESS
:)
Go Hawks!!
BallHawks play poorly
in the Clash
The BallHawks go 2-2 in the Clash for Cash in Franklin
this weekend. The bats never got hot and the defense was just about
as bad. This was a good wake-up call and I hope everyone will respond
well to it. Remember girls, nothing will be given to you just because
you step on the field. You have to play ALL OUT on every play of
every inning in every game.We hope to see the real BallHawks next
week in the Triple Play. Go Hawks!
BallHawks finish
3rd at Slugfest 08' in Clarksville
The Hawks struggle a bit this weekend at the plate
and in the field. They did however manage to go 6-2 after getting
sent to the losers bracket in game 1 by IL. Southern Express (champs).
The ballhawks win 4 in a row before losing to Nick and his sidekicks
3-4 (the ones calling us the chicken hawks). All of the other teams
were great and we had a lot of fun. We are still very proud of the
effort level of the girls. Hopefully we will play better the next
time out. Go Hawks!!
Old Stage Printing
Classic in Pigeon Forge
BallHawks have an impressive showing in the Classic
going 6-0 scoring 72 runs while allowing only 6. Pool play began
with a 13-0 victory over the Knoxville Nightmares and a 5-2 win
vs NC Mountian Fury. Bracket play began in the same fashion with
a 13-0 win over NC Extreme. The BallHawks defeated TN White Lightning
16-0 in the 2nd round. The bats and defense would stay alive in
the semi's to beat the Morristown Hurricanes 17-2 to leave us waiting
for someone in the finals. That someone would be the tough NC Mountian
Fury, the Hawks take that game 8-2 to win the Championship.The whole
team played great all weekend. Congrats to Destiny Ginn for winning
the tournament MVP and to Stevie Baird for her Offensive MVP award.
Go Hawks!!
Spring Friendly
3
BallHawks beat the Indiana
Heartbreakers 1-0 in their only game before the tourney was cancelled
due to rain.
Easter Bash
BallHawks struggle in the one day easter tourney,
winning only 1 game out of 3. We hit the ball pretty well but the
throwing errors were a problem all day. Hopefully everyone will
be back at their regular positions next week and we can get back
to where we need to be as a team. Go Hawks!!
BallHawks win Bama
Babe's Tournament in Montgomery, Alabama
3/15/08 The BallHawks run from bad weather in Tennessee
and find themselves in Montgomery, Alabama. The girls got the bats
going a little this weekend scoring 37 runs, while the defense continues
to get better only allowing 3. The whole team played well but there
were two girls that have to be mentioned Becky Melton and Jada Dotson
absolutly went off at the plate.We had a nice trip and that 80 degree
weather was awsome. Good job ladies and Go Hawks!!
3/3/08
The Ballhawks would like to to thank Worth97 and the Clarksville
Patriots for gettting together with us for a much needed 5 games
this weekend. The coaches, players, and families of both teams were
great. Maybe we can do it again some time. Go Hawks!!
Indy 08'
(3rd place)
The BallHawks lose in the opener 2-0
to the Indy Diamond Chicks, then get a nice win vs the Indy Twist
3-2. We finish the night off at about 1:00 am with an 11-0 victory
over Wisconsin Triple Play. We come out Sunday with some solid defense,
but lose 2-1 to Team Indiana. The girls played good defense the
whole weekend (allowing only 6 runs in 4 games) but never really
got the bats going. It will be a deadly combination if the D and
O are on at the same time. Let's work hard on our hitting the rest
of the winter and see how much we can improve. We are very proud
of our team and their families. The BallHawk fans were the loudest
in the building, by far! I hope that you continue to support the
girls like that for years to come.
Go BallHawks!!
Fall 07'
The BallHawks took the field together
for the first time this fall. We had decided to use these tourny's
as practice, to see great competition, and to show the girls why
they will be working on what they are during the winter. We started
out slow and were not about to try and make a play! :) But as
time past, you could see them coming together a little. They were
trying to make a play, but just not finishing. By the end of fall
they were making more plays, and with less intruction. Thanks
to some of that great competition, we now know what needs to be
worked on and so do the girls. This WILL be a good ball team.
And we are very excited to get started with winter workouts.
Go Hawks!!
