STINGERS ADD AREA'S TOP 2015 PLAYER TO 2012 SUMMER TEAM >>>  We welcome TAYLOR S. and her family to the 2012 Summer team. "I've  been watching TAYLOR all spring under Coach Johnson at Riverbend and felt from the first second I saw her that we could help her reach her potential. She has some really nice tools that I think will be recognized immediately by next level coaches. SPEED! she's 2.8 from home to first and can flat out fly around the bags. To go along with it, she's agreesive and swings it hard from the right side - that we love!. She could be your number 1 or your number 4 stick equally as well and I see potential from the portside (which we will work with her on this summer)!!! She has really improved behind the dish this spring and has a ton of potential as a catcher and we are committed to helping her get reach her that potential. In addition to catching, we'll have her in the outfield and she may see some infield as well. I've talked to her a few times this spring and I love her desire and attitude - she plays to win. Already I can tell you, she's one of the most polite and respectful players I've met. Taylor is going to be a great fit with the Stingers and I know she is going to improve... I am so very excited to work with Taylor this summer and get to know her and her family better throough the game" - Tracey

STINGERS WELCOME TOP 2014 PROSPECT BRITTANY J,  TO THE STINGERS 2012 SUMMER TEAM >>> "Brittany worked out with us in our winter camp and we knew we wanted her to play with us this summer. I've been watching Brittany at Riverbend High School for a couple of years, but our other coaches never had the opportunity to see her on the field. So we did a try out..... and about 45 minutes into the workout our assistances came up to me and said Brittany's a no brainer - we love Britt and felt she could help our team win. This kid is an absolute refined utility player, I've seen her handle every position in the infield (less catcher) and she can pitch too! But what I didn't realize until tryouts - she is an exceptional outfielder! She was tracking balls like crazy as a result of super reads off the stick. Brittany's a strong player and we fully expect that she will compete for the middle of the line up opportunities. So how can you not be excited to add a player that can play every position on the field (less catcher), hit's the ball hard and can get you productive innings in the circle! We are SO HAPPY that Brittany will be daunting the black & yellows this summer, we are going to have a blast!" - Tracey

ALLYSON S. (#8) – SS – 2012 Spotsylvania High School

1^st Team All District Battlefield Infielder

“The GENERAL returns for the 2012 Summer Season!!!!! Allyson is absolutely the top shortstop in Fredericksburg and plays the game all out...  If you've seen her play, there's no disputing it.... I just LOVE her attitude and approach to the game, she really enjoys playing the game -- as much as any player I have every coached. That's part of what makes Allyson such a dynamic player and part of the reason she makes players around her better!. She can run fast 9really fast), mashes the ball hard, with a line drive swing path and is one of the best defensive shortstops we've ever seen! Allyson plays her High School ball at one of the top schools in the area - Spotsylvania HS with Coach Danny Brooks.  I can't express how excited I am to have Allyson back with the Stingers this summer and look forward to working with her.” - Tracey

TYLER T. (#4) – P/UT – 2013 Riverbend High School

 2nd Team All District Commonwealth Pitcher

“Tyler's been with the Stingers since day one.... She's a Riverbend Bear at one of our favorite programs where she plays for Coach Johnson. Tyler is one of the smartest pitchers I've seen, she absoultely knows how to pitch for outs... knows when you need the K and what to throw to get it! She, along with our catchers, has been calling her own game since she was 14 - that makes a difference in the players understanding of the game.... Tyler has a really nice swing from the right, but Coach Johnson learned halfway through the season how talented Tyler is from the leftside. - SHE IS A THREAT and brings a lot of really nice options from the portside. If I had to guess, I'd say her BA from the left this spring is nearing .600. Tyler is another player that can play any position on the field, and I do mean ANY and that's exactly what we intend to do with "Tee". She is one of the hardest working players I have ever coached -- It's great to have TYLER back for the summer" - Tracey

LESLEY W. (#44) – P/UT – 2013 Eastern View High School

1st Team All District Battlefield Utility

“This is LESLEY'S second full season with us and we are abosultely thrilled she is returning!.... She had one of the best winter workouts of anyone on the team... I know it's a recurring theme, but when you have athletes they can play anywhere on the field! LESLEY's another fabulous utility player. She pitched again this year at Eastern View, we'll use her again this summer in the circle - she has great stuff and compete's hard! LESLEY is strong, blessed with a great softball frame and her swing path is that Raaaaadford looong ball swing - we like those long balls!. She is one of the top power hitters on the team and we see her most certainly in the middle of the order to clean things up!! I am so happy that Lesley is returning, we love this kid!!!!” - Tracey

BECKY S. (#5) – P/1B – 2013 Riverbend High School

1st Team All District Commonwealth Infielder

“Yuup - another founding member....BECKY continues to work hard through her enjoyment of the game. I thought Becky had an awesome winter as well, her swing is nice and quiet and very efficient. She has really learned how to hit and refined her swing over the past year. This spring I've seen her take the outside pitch hard to opposite field, it shows she understands how to hit the ball hard. Becky is one of the strongest players on the team, she took a signed, sealed and committed D1 pitcher 340' over center this spring - she's not intimidated by anyone in the circle and is a real threat to go deep at anytime. Without a doubt, BECKY is the finest firstbaseman I have ever had the privelge of coaching - 1st team district for a reason. In addition to 1st, Becky will see time in the circle, heck she's been 63 mph, usually works high 50's and has good offspeed - we can't leave that at first base!... I just love BECKY and her excitment for her team mates and the game, gonna be great to get back on the field with BECK." - Tracey

KARA C0. - (#33) – 3B/UT – 2013 Courtland High School

 2^nd Team All District Battlefield Infielder

“KARA's joing us for her second full season and man are we glad about that! Hands down, no disputing it - best third baseman in Fredericksburg. Great footwork with superior reaction skills and a fearless attitude - several important traits of a corner player.. Another player that is really, really strong and has definete power potential from the right side. If you see KARA on the bases, YOU WILL NEVER FORGET HER - she is head first, I'm not getting out at every bag! Agreesive and smart, we are so lucky to have KARA returning amd look forward to spending time with her to help her reach her potential. ” - Tracey

ERICA D. (#13) – OF – 2012 Culpeper High School

2^nd Team All District Battlefield Outfielder

“ We are so happy that ERICA is re-joining us for a second season! ERICA's the fastest player we have ever coached.... reads ball's exceptionally well with very nice outfield technique rarely displayed with many of today's players. ERICA had one of the top OBP's, and one of the top batting averages last summer for the Stingers... She hit's it hard and we fully expect that to continue this season... we'll need her to drive in runs and rack up another strong year of consistently getting on the bag's. Center is one of, if not the, most important positions on the field and ERICA should be recognized as the starting centerfielder for the 2012 BATTLEFIELD DISTRICT CHAMPIONS: the Culpeper Blue Devils....I love this kid, I love her attitude, her personality and the way she approaches the game, she is an awesome player and an even better team mate and person!" - Tracey

 
LINDSEY A. (#3)- C/OF – 2012 Orange High School

“Here we go, another original STINGER -- LINDSEY's been with us since she was 10 and it's been wonderful watching her grow into a very complete player. She's been one of our two primary catchers over the years and she is really solid at the position, calls a really game and has experience taking care of her pitchers...... It's been really nice having consistency in the catcher and pitcher positions, players can really get to know each other. LINDSEY is a very fine outfield which is the position she plays for Coach Ryder at Orange County High School. This summer, LINDSAY will see time in the outfield, infield and behind the dish as well. From the plate, LINDSEY swings from both sides and is another player who had an exceptional winter with some good college camps which helped her understand a few things i her swing. We are expecting HUGE things from LINDSEY this summer and I can't wait to get back to work with her..." - Tracey

KARA CU. – (#7) – OF/P/UT – 2013 Culpepper High School

1^st Team All District Battlefield Outfielder

“KARA's another player returning for her second full season and man are we fortunate!. Like Erica, KARA plays outfield for the 2012 BATTLEFIELD DISTRICT CHAMPIONS - the CULPEPER BLUE DEVILS.... and has been tearing the cover off the 12 inch this spring! Doesn't surprise me one but, KARA had a great winter, she is absolutely the best player I have ever coached at hitting behind a runner and those who know the game know who special that skillset is for a player to posses -- nothing better than putting a defense in motion and then hitting it hard on the ground through the holes. KARA will ptich again this summer for the Stingers, she keep the ball down as well as any pitcher we have had and she mixes real nice, good change and dynamite location! We are looking forward to her presence in the circle and her steady defense as our leftfielder. Might I also mention: a 4.0+ GPA and off the charts SAT scores, KARA's the complete player. and another kid I can't wait to see!!!!” - Tracey
