Spartansburg Update

The Lady Lightning Gold Elite- Glosson team got down to the last four teams in the tournament and then the rain came down.   This tournament was a ASA Qualifier and we were trying to win for the berth to Nationals in CA.  Coach Glosson is still getting to know how Alicia can help the team. Alicia ddid very well when she did get in to play.  Her stats for the weekend was  1.000 in all areas.  She got up to bat twice and had two nice hits.  She caught the last out of a game and had some aggressive base running as a base bandit.

Tomorrow she leaves for the Scenic City 16U tournament.  The Lady Lightning Gold Elite's first games are Thursday at 2:00 and 4:00.

June Travel

The Lady Lightning Gold Elite will be playing it's first ASA Qualifier this coming weekend in Spartansburg, SC.  http://www.eteamz.com/scasa/news/index.cfm?cat=309649

Our team has it's first game at 8:00am at the North Spartansburg complex, field A.

This week, Alicia received All conference Academic Athlete award for the second year in a row.
She was able to maintain a 4.0 for the whole year even with two AP classes.  She actually did better in the 4th quarter during softball season.

She has been receiving many emails from colleges that are interested in her academically as well as for softball. 

Play- offs

Northern Guilford Nighthawks softball team is going on to the third round of state play-offs.  The next game will be against Eastern Alamance at their home field.  If the Lady Nighthawks should win that game they will go on to meet the winner of Williams vs. Johnston on 5/21.  They have faced both Eastern Alamance and Williams in their own conference before and have won at least one game against them.  Johnston beat Western Alamance whom the Nighthawks lost against.  Can they do it?

So Much Happening

Yesterday was a busy day for Alicia.  She went to a Volunteer Appreciation Tea at the Northern Elementary School where she volunteers as a Reading Buddy.  Then some of the first graders that she works with at Northern Elementary School went to see her play softball.  Several of them stood on the field with her while the National Anthem was sung.  Then to top it off a college coach was at her game to see her play.  That might be a common occurrance in other parts of the country but it is not in NC.

Earlier in the week she was asked by one of the Summerfield Recreational Association board members to help their 10U and 12U players with pitching and run some clinics for them.  She was told that some of the local parents involved in softball recommended her.  Alicia is very excited about helping younger girls improve their mechanics in pitching , hitting and softball.

Short Update

Coach Monti VanBrunt arriving Friday to continue training Alicia.  Then April 29th a lesson with Coach Michael Bastian.

Coach Bastian just asked Alicia to play on Team TFS International for the Colorado Sparkler Tournament in July.
