Team History

Prior to the Fall 2006 Season, this Viper team was previously known as the '94 Elite Panthers.  The Panthers were formed in the Spring of 2005 as a 10A team.  This team qualified for ASA "10A" Nationals in 2005 where they went 7-2 and finished 7th in the Nation. 

In 2006, the team moved up as a 1st year 12A team.  The team competed against the 2nd year teams all year and peaked at the right time, earning a second consecutive berth to ASA Nationals in 2006 in the 12A division.  The Panthers played a competitive tournament finishing 2-3. 

As the team moved to the Vipers Organization for 2007, we welcomed a talented group of young ladies from throughout GA to the core of original Panther players.  As an experienced 2nd year 12A team, the Vipers went 66-18.  The team won the ASA GA State Championship, won the region HOF Qualifier, qualified for ASA Nationals at the HOF in Oklahoma City, OK, and won numorous other top area tournaments.  The team traveled to Roseville, CA to participate in ASA "A" Nationals.  Unfortunately, the team chose the wrong time to mis-fire and finished t-25th out 64 teams.  Not bad, but definitely not what the team was capable of or had set out to do to start the season.  It was a good lesson...and we will and have learned from it.  

For 2008, the Vipers moved up to 14U.  With a team loaded with talent, great attitudes and work ethic, we quickly established ourselves as one of the top teams, even as a 1st year 14U team.  We finished the year 60-28-2 playing the toughest schedule we could find and again qualified for 14U "A" Nationals in Midland, TX.  At Nationals, we had the misfortune of running up against our older Sister team, Vipers - Berry.  We lost to them 7-5 for a T-25th place finish out of 83 teams.  Berry goes on to take 4th in the country...outstanding job.  

For 2009, the bar was raised.  With ASA Nationals being hosted in Atlanta, GA, we wanted to represent our state well.  The goal was to prepare ourselves and push ourselves to be in a position to compete for the title.  Dedication, Effort, and Enthusiasm were our themes.  The team finished the year with a record of 87-17-2.  Key accomplishments were qualifying for ASA Nationals in GA's first qualifer and winning the ASA GA State 14U Championship.  To cap the year off, the team did compete for the ASA National title.  We came up a little short, but a 8-2 record resulted in a T-5th finish.  Our first top 5, second top 10, and fourth top 25 finish as a group.  Excellent job ladies!

 For 2010, the landscape changes.  Our ASA National's goal stays the same, but now we enter quickly into the world of college recruiting and College Exposure tournaments.   We look forward to the challenges and experiences that await us.
