98 RAGE Finishes First

The 98 Flower Mound RAGE finished in First Place beating a formidable opponent in the 98 Tomboys team.  Our girls played hard all weekend, and had FUN!!  Our sticks were hot, our defense was solid and our pitching was great.  We played as a team, won as a team and had fun as a team.  Thanks to all the 98 RAGE girls who play with heart and determination game after game.  You never give up and that is a valuable lesson - not only in the game of softball, but in life.  We are very proud of you all!  Congratulations on another 1st place trophy.

98 RAGE - 2nd Place

This weekend, the 98 RAGE players finished a heartbreaking second place.  The Texas Pride team beat us fair and square - so congrats to them!  We know what it feels like to win all kinds of places, but you girls didn't like winning second.  Keep your chins up, you played good softball this weekend.  Unfortunately, sometimes your best is not enough.  Remember the fundamentals practiced week in and week out.  We will suffer defeat, but it shouldn't defeat you.  Let's show 'em next weekend that 98 RAGE is ready to play our best and hopefully finish on top.   Good job, ladies!

Another 1st Place for 98 RAGE!!

The 98 RAGE softball team finished 1st out of 22 teams the weekend of October 11th.  This time around in Southlake the girls stayed in the Winner's Bracket to win the Southlake Harvest Fest 10 U Tournament.  Our team battled against a formidable TX Force 98 Team to send them to the loser's bracket only to play them again in the Championship Game.  With some good offense, defense and coaching, the 98 RAGE were 1st place Champs!!

After 10 GAMES, 98 RAGE Comes out on TOP!!

The 98 Flower Mound RAGE fights back to WIN 1st Place on September 28, 2008 in Southlake.  After being knocked down to the loser's bracket, the girls rallied back to win 6 games in a row on Sunday.  Thanks to Chel Chel's GRAND SLAM home run, we beat a tough 98 Batbuster (Rhine) team to take home the 1st place trophy.  Way to go, girls!!  You had fun, hit the ball hard, and made some great defensive plays.  We are very proud of you all!!!

RAGE Girls Play 9 Games to Finish 2nd

Our 98 RAGE girls played TOUGH all weekend long in Irving.  After losing a tough game on Sunday morning, we played 4 more games back to back until we reached the "Ship."  Even though our players toughed it out, played their best and gave their all, we ended up finishing 2nd to our 98 Rip friends.  Congrats to the Rip girls for winnning the tournament all the way through the winner's bracket and going 5-0 in the tournament.  We are very proud of our girls and the tenacity and perseverance in which they played all weekend.  It says a lot about a team who plays from 9:30am on Sunday to 5:30pm on Sunday without any breaks.  We are VERY proud of you 98 RAGE !!!!

98 RAGE Wins 1st Place in Mansfield

The 98 Flower Mound RAGE went 5-0 in Mansfield's End of Summer 10U tournament on August 16-17.  We thought the rainy weather might disrupt the tournament, but the rain held out until late Sunday evening so everyone was able to finish out the tournament.  Our RAGE girls played 5 games and won each of them.  In fact, 2 games were shut-outs.  Our pitchers were on fire, our defense was sound and our offense picked up from the first to last games.  Not only did these RAGE players play a great softball tournament, they had  FUN!!  While waiting for one of our opponents to get ready and play, our RAGE girls were playing air guitar to "Welcome to the Jungle."  Each of the players were using their bats as guitars and rocking out!  That is what girls' softball is all about - HAVING FUN!  When girls are having fun, they play better as a team.  We are so proud of the 98 RAGE players and coaches for bringing home our 1st place trophy - it was well deserved.

Congratulations to the 98 RAGE Team for finishing with a Top 7 Finish at the USFA State "10UB" Tournament in Conroe, TX on June 21, 2008!!  Our girls played a GREAT tournament in the heat and humidity.  We lost to a good defensive team in the Katy Cruisers  who sent us to the losers bracket.  We battled back with an impressive win against a tough 97 RAGE team and set our sites on Sunday.  We started off with a nailbiter against the TX Ball Bratz but pulled off a great win in order to face a tough Texas Magic Team.  Unfortunately, we lost to the Texas Magic who ended up finishing 3rd in State.  Pride and Determination ruled the day and the 98 RAGE was the last N. Texas team standing and the last 98 Team in the tournament.  Way to go 98 RAGE!!!!!
