It was a beautiful weekend, a little chilly by Texas standards in the morning, but afternoons.... wow, it doesn't get any better.

Great turnout from the college coaches, best we've seen all fall. And if any of them lurk out here, on behalf of all the parents - thanks for coming out - it's hard to be away from home, but we push our kids to write y'all and its fantastic when you show up to watch. We had 6-10 coaches at all of our games, even the 8:00am one. And another special thanks to all the volunteers who got the fields ready to go. For those that don't live here, we got the mother of all rainstorms on Thur and to get the fields ready to go (all of them) for the Friday games was a heck of an accomplishment.

I couldn't begin to comment on who the best 3 are: We played some excellent teams from back East, and some from right here in Tx. It was a great weekend. DD is worn out, but happy that some coaches to whom she she wrote to came to see her play, and that several of her older teammates got official visit offers or initial contact from schools they hadn't even considered. Besides the wonderful charity work that this tourney supports, that's what it's all about...

First time to this Showcase. Very well run, good fields and it was great to play 4 Texas teams and one from the Panhandle of Florida. Good competition. Best overall pitching we've faced. And as everyone said, lots of college recruiters at the fields. Great to get out of California and see some new faces.

Got to hold two Olympic gold medals.

Congrats to all involved.
