THANKS TO COACHES, PLAYERS
Friday, August 14, 2009
March Madness in July in Gloucester City has just ended for 2009 – 1,100 girls trying to win softball championships in five age divisions in 19 days!
The team I managed was fortunate enough to win the 13-15 year old division. I would like to publicly thank some special people who helped make it happen.
Thanks to my coaches Michelle, Ed, and Paulie for never saying “No” to one more practice.
Thanks to the players who gave 100 percent no matter how hot it was, or how repetitious the drills may have seemed.
Thanks to the parents and the fans who supported us with intense loyalty. Thank you, Jerry Hall!
Thank you, Erin. You always made me laugh, no matter what went wrong.
Special thanks to the Gloucester City Softball League Grounds Crew, who showed up every night to make the fields so playable, even after rain delays.
We are fortunate in South Jersey to have such a unique tournament in our own backyard. The memories of competitions like these will last a lifetime.
Tom Concannon, Manager, Bellmawr 13-15 team
