Spring is Coming

Alicia has been continuing to work hard to prepare for softball season. She will try out for the Northern Guilford High School softball team. Recently she was invited to upper classmen workouts.

Her pitching coach Teri Fister, a former pitcher at Appalachian State University says that her knuckle ball is "sick". It floats and flutters so the batter doesn't know where it will go. She has never seen a knuckle ball like that. She said" with a fast ball, knuckle and change up she will dominate". Alicia even was showing her hitting coach Alex Emeterio how to throw a knuckle ball.

TFS has started it's spring workouts and plan to play in their first tournament in Cary the weekend of March 5th. Alicia will play 14u this spring but will most likely be moving up to 16u this summer.
