Anywho...our Prosper U8 All stars clenched the State title on Thursday night. We spent a week in Center, Texas and walked away with a State Championship. To think of all the teams that those boys had to beat to get there is amazing. Every team there obviously had to win their district. (There were 12 teams I think? And they each had to beat about that many to get there? Do the math...)
For the championship game we had to beat the same team twice. We had a loss under our belt (not to make excuses, but our team had the stomach bug all week...yes, you read that right...at least half the team!)...and the team we were playing had not lost yet. Since it was a double elimination tournament, we had to beat them twice the night of the championship to win it. And that we did.
The boys played great, Jacob was a monster at the bat and caught every ball hit to him, and it was an all around AWESOME night. The nerves, emotion and excitement of it all were almost too much to handle. When they introduced the players? I cried. When the national anthem played? Yep, cried then too. When the last out was made in the final game? You guessed it, I also cried then. It was amazing! Saturday the World Series starts. Our first 3 games are Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. I will keep everyone updated through Facebook. CRAZY!
