Area Games Today at Red Bay Softball Fields

Earlier this month and after the JV season was over, Monique was pulled up to the Red Bay Lady Tigers Varsity softball team to play out the rest of the year.  She had to make a tough decision because she had also committed to a travel basketball team and their season had begun.  Neek had played a number of games with them but the school's varsity team needed her complete attention according to the coaches.  So she hit the field to hopefully help the softball team get to state. 

This team is filled with talented young ladies.  Whitney Sharp and Emily Cox lead the team as super talented pitchers who have already been selected by Alabama colleges after they graduate.  Monique is excited to play with this great bunch of girls and coaches.  Since she can play any position on the field with relative ease, she gets to participate in a meaningful way in whatever way the team needs, even if it means she is fetching water or cheering for them, which rarely happens.

We hope that the Lady Tigers can run through their games today and head to regionals this weekend with a lot of momentum.  The tornados that struck the South last week destroyed two of our area schools so they are having to play a lot to get all the games in.  Our thoughts and prayers are continuous for Phil Campbell, Hackelburg and Smithville as well as the other areas hit.  This was a bad event for the Southeastern USA but we will recover.  Please remember to pray for those affected by the flood waters that continue to rise.
