Off to the races...

Whew! Tryouts are over and done with for another year.

Well…for softball and baseball at least. Ang was more than stressed but has survived in case anyone was wondering.

Kels is still happy with the team she made for the Mankato Peppers. She is looking forward to the opportunity to earn more playing time and work on her pitching this summer. With a female, non-parent coach and a fresh set of players/parents, Kels is hoping this will be her best season yet.

Lil’ TK made the “AA” Maroon team. He is absolutely ecstatic to have his hero/mentor/idol as a coach – Dean Bowyer. Coach Dean coached the MSU Mavericks for 30 years and has been a wonderful influence for Lil’ TK. Helping to make this an even better deal is having several of his closest friends on the team with him. He is looking forward to working on 2nd base and pitching skills and can’t wait for the season to start.

Ang is trying to get organized for all the tournaments and practices that are looming. It is a daunting task with all the duties she has for MAYBA (Mankato Area Youth Baseball Assoc.) right now but is up for the challenge. With Big TK working retail hours at PA, it will be up to Ang to get the kids to and from where they need to be. It’s never easy but the chaos is all worth it to watch the Kels and Lil’ TK play the sports they love.

God Bless…
