I know the players win and lose the games. I have never heard a coach get a hit, score a run, strike out a batter, or make a great defensive play. But, I have to give Coach Bishop a "gold star" for today! Coach Bishop is struggling with severe back pain that doesn't allow him to get any sleep. The our girls softball team scores 4 runs early in game 1 of our tournament, only to lose the game in 8 innings. Then he gets a nice comfortable lead in the consolation game. Then he gets drilled by a ball, WHERE? In his back! Does he complain, does he stop coaching? NO. What a great example for our kids. He has had some really tough losses this year and doesn't give up. I can't be prouder of his coaching and his coaching staff. They are working hard to get the best out of our kids! He challenges them and never gives up! Thanks Coach!
The team leaders for the day: Kortney Holliday 4 of 7 and 3 RBI's and Macy Sturgis / Kortney Holliday battled to win the 2nd game.
A very good Bishop Dwenger team defeated Manchester in the Championship game 10-1. Great work by Rich Wisel and Mike Andrews to keep the field playable all day. Thanks to Greg Griffin for supervising and managing the tournament for me while I was out this morning. I love GHS and the team work that goes into pulling off an event like this.
