Varsity Softball 2016

Kels may have played "left bench" on the Varsity Softball team at Mankato West this year but that doesn't lessen her impact. Several people told Ang that they admired her leadership and cheerleading from the dugout and her willingness to step onto the field and do whatever asked of her. The team had a real "family" feel and the girls would write that on their right wrists before each game. They marched through the season only losing 1 non-conference game to a team in a higher conference than them and went onto win the conference, the section and state. It was a great moment for the team but especially for the seniors on the team who had played ball together since age 5.

Graduation 2016

The Dittos graduated. What a milestone. What an awesome experience. Ang and Big TK are so excited for their future. Kels and Lil' TK are just happy to be done. Next up, college orientation and getting ready to move. Kels will be attending the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. She has her room-mate all figured out - providing the paperwork is all processed correctly - and is starting to put together the things she's going to need to decorate the dorm room. Lil' TK will be attending the University of Sioux Falls in Sioux Falls, SD. He's excited to move to Sioux Falls and meet up with family friends that live there and have promised to become his second home. Both kids chose colleges that have purple as their colors, cats as their mascots, go by UST and USF and are in towns that start with an S. Twin-Coincidence? Ang thinks so...

Wrestling 2015-2016

Lil' TK started his last wrestling season with the Mankato West Scarlets determined to make a difference...and he did. Through hard work, determination and a will like no other, he ended his last wrestling season with an almost .500 record and being named Most Improved Wrestler by the coaches. He made it into the 2nd day of rounds at Sections, which he had never done before and hit each milestone he set for himself. Wrestling is not just a sport, it's a life lesson. And it's made Lil' TK the man he is today.

Coach, Lil' TK and Zach Sanders - U of M wrestling stud and someone Lil' TK was super excited to meet.

Play Ball!

The Dittos started spring sports. No one told Mother-Nature and the first games had to be rescheduled but that's how things go in Minnesota.

Lil' TK made the JV Baseball team for the West Scarlets playing Left Field, 2nd Base and Pinch Running. He loves being on the team and playing ball with all his friends.

 

 Kels made the Varsity Softball Team and rotates in at 3rd base and DH. The team started off the season beating the cross-town rival in a nail biter of a game.

Rasslin'

Lil' TK joined the wrestling team again this year. Made Varsity and was named a Captain. He's still one of the hardest working guys on the mat, regardless of what his record is. At the last regular match of the season, he went 3 periods with the opponents "stud" and though he lost the match on points, he won the moral victory (not getting pinned).

The whole team has a great family atmosphere and it's always hard when the end of the season looms. Individual Section Tournaments will end the season for the team unless we can send a few kids to State. It's been a fun year....that went by way too fast. #GoScarlets
