Fall season is heating up. Spook-outs, Pink-outs, Christmas Charities, fundraisers, Toy-for-Tots, World Series Tournaments and All-American Elite events upcoming. Busy, Busy, Busy! I’ve been putting a lot of time in the weight room preparing for a very hectic fall season, I’m squatting 300 lbs. Gilbert 18U Rec ball practices underway, games start next week. Having fun helping other players to develop and learn the ropes. My Knuckleball is steadily improving, and my batting average continues to improve, my Thunderstick is on fire. Continue to attend College prospect camps in between tournaments. Loving High School and FFA. Making friends and building quality, long-term relationships is the best part. Stay tuned...

School has started and it’s been great so far, I’m in 9th grade but spend nearly all my time in the 10th grade hallways. I am in FFA and will be raising chickens. As summer travel ball comes to end, the fall season will crank up with big tournaments like the All-American Elite games in Tyger River and the USSSA Palmetto Power Showcase in Lexington and prospect camp August 26ththru the 28th. I will also be playing in a Christmas Charity Tournament, the TopGun World Series, Toy-4-Tots, and a Halloween event (TBA). I am also playing Rec Ball in Gilbert this fall – I had a blast last year. Stay tuned…

Hello, everybody, hope you all are doing well.

Time for a NEWS update. I’ve be hitting the weights and conditioning constantly plus I’ve been training with my personal coach, Hannah, getting ready for the peak of travel ball season. I’m attending various College skills camps focusing mostly on my defense and hitting. My hitting is steadily improving, and I have gotten used to swinging my big ole thunderstick. My Carolina Dynamite 14U team started off the season right with a championship win and going to try it again this weekend in Aiken. I will be updating everyone soon on my upcoming All-American Games appearance scheduled at the end of the month in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.

Well, it’s been a long wait, but travel softball is finally underway, and it has started off great.  This past Saturday, the 18th me and the Carolina Dynamite 14U/07 played our first official tournament of the year in the USSSA’s Father’s Day Explosion tournament here in Lexington.  We played 5 games in one day tying one and winning the last four games back-to-back which included the Championship game (9-1). I played short stop in the first pool game and pitched the remaining games including coming very close to shutting out the Palmetto Heat in the Championship. Jordyn pitched the first game which we beat the Killer Bees by a landslide. My catcher on the day, Emily, performed nearly flawlessly, I couldn’t have done this without her....and a great defense. The offense came through when called upon, it was a great day for all.  I was so happy for my team, especially for the girls who received their first bling. It was a blast. Head Coach Chad did an outstanding job of managing and Coach Mike was an amazing pitch caller.  

Fun times ahead.

Hey, everybody, it’s been a while but here’s the latest. Travel ball is kicking off and tomorrow it my first tourney. I will be playing tomorrow in the USSSA’s “UNDER ARMOUR PALMETTO CUP” (HS Division) tomorrow in Lexington, SC. I will be playing with our Carolina Dynamite 16U team and hope to help them win the championship.  My schedule is filling up fast with travel ball tourneys, camps, combines, and there’s more to come. Hope to see as many of my friends as possible along the way. Stay safe! 

May 1, 2022

My manager (dad) is working on scheduling camps and combines for the rest of the year. Also excited to attend Bev Smiths Gamecock Summer Camp. I will also be playing a major role in Indians Summer Softball Camp at the high school. I'm hoping to be playing travel ball soon with the Carolina Dynamite and the Carolina Magic. I will also be playing some select games with Mr. Lane Taylor and the Coastal Force 16U like Toys for Tots in Georgetown this December. I have also agreed to play 16U rec ball this Fall in Gilbert - had a blast last year. Stay tuned.

April 13, 2022  

Some good news. It appears that the rebuilding process of our Carolina Dynamite travel ball team is underway, and things are starting to develop quickly. Coach Chad and Coach Mike are the best – I truly love these guys and I know they love me too. They respect my abilities and talents. We lost many of our starters, but we still have a lot to build from. I love this team, both players and coaching staff. We have lots fun and support each other no matter what, that means a lot to me. They are my buddies and I have no plans to leave them anytime soon. I always feel loved and needed…stay tuned…

Hello, everybody, hope you all are doing well. Still not a lot to report, except that my summer schedule is being worked on behind the scenes and updates should be forthcoming soon. I may be looking for a second corporate sponsor and I may also be featured in some sportswear ads just not sure when, weird, right? Stay tuned.... 

February 26, 2022 

Still not a lot of softball news today, but here’s an update for interested parties. No travel ball until summer but I’m training continuously in preparation for a busy season. In August, I may be attending CSB’s Softball Collegiate Combine in Clayton, NC. I was invited by a Division II Head coach from Texas who I’m also looking forward to meeting. My Sponsor, Chris Harris, presented me with a new pair of Ringor pitching cleats. My mom bought me a new high-quality glove. My Instagram account is featuring a lot of content and my website is getting a tremendous amount of hits. I will start making unofficial visits to several colleges during the next few months.

January 22, 2022  

Not a lot of news at this point. Been training hard for the upcoming summer Travel Ball season. It appears that I will be heading to Elizabethtown, Kentucky this July to participate in the 2022 All-American games. 

December 14, 2021

Well, I’m getting ready for the Christmas break and for the SY Elite All-American games in Panama City, Fl., I will be competing in the Elite 18U/HS Division.

Travel softball is over for the season and a new season begins this coming Summer following School Ball. I had a lot of fun and made a ton of new friends - which is the greatest benefit of playing softball all over the Southeast. 

I will be attending tryouts for travel ball during the spring, but it looks like the Carolina Magic 18U has already adopted me LOL!. Working harder and smarter to make the roster for the Gilbert HS Indian Varsity Softball team – I believe it’s going to be a great year.

I also enjoyed our school choir & band concerts and playing in front of live audiences. I am looking forward to adding the saxophone to my list of musical instruments since I just became a member of the Jazz Band.  

November 18, 2021   

Well, my last College Showcase is done for this year, and I only have a few more travel ball tournaments for the remainder of the season as well.  Now it’s time to focus on the All-American Elite 16U games in Panama City, Florida which begin in late December.  I’m looking forward to competing against some of the best high school softball players from all over the United States. I also can’t wait to spend some time with my Softball Support Buddy, Krisalyn.  After that, most all my time will be focused on preparing for Gilbert High School Varsity Softball. Lots of conditioning, training, and practicing.  Stay tuned…

Well, 16U fall Rec ball at Gilbert is over for this year, and it may be my last time playing Rec ball ever, only time will tell. That said, I had a blast playing for my head coach and youth pastor, Roscoe Corder. Asst Coach Chis Harris made me feel special with his constant support and encouragement ultimately becoming my sponsor. I had an awesome catcher, Jasmine Campbell, who made me look good in the circle. We also had a few home runs apiece during the season and were undefeated when we both played together. The Purple Bullets went 9-1 on the season with 2 games being rained out and not rescheduled. Great memories were made, and I enjoyed helping developing players and by showing them what being a winner feels like.

Fall Rec ball in Gilbert is now well underway and I’m having a blast playing with one of my pals, Jasmine. She is an awesome friend and an excellent catcher. I enjoy Rec ball because it gives me an opportunity to help new players and those who are still developing. My showcase tour with the Florida Prospex 18U Premier begins next weekend in Alabama, the team is made up of talented young ladies from all over the south and are very nice people. The tour ends in December and then I finish the year with the Softball Youth’s Elite tournament in Panama City Beach, Florida. Stay tuned…

Our Rec season is finally underway, the first game was scratched due to heavy rain. We were able to win our Second game 8-2 Thursday night against Midland 16U team #1. I had a home run with an RBI. My curve ball seemed to have done its job that night. Our Team name is the “Purple Bullets.” Our schedule along with videos & photos are posted on my Gilbert Purple Bullets’ Page. 

September 14, 2021  

Well, our Gilbert Rec-Ball fall season is on hold due to Covid-19. We only managed to have a couple of practice sessions and the games start next week. It appears that we may miss the first three games and possibly even more. At this point, we don’t even know when it will resume. It’s crazy, I’ve been having to stay home e-learning for the same reason. Our Church Youth Group has been shut down for months also due to Covid. Our wonderful little town of Gilbert is under siege!

Wow, I was selected to represent the USA through American Based Sports Abroad (ABSA) in the Dominican Republic this December. What a great honor to have been chosen. It would have been awesome to have played softball with and against other young ladies from all over the world. Unfortunately, I had to decline due to conflicts in scheduling. 

August 24, 2021

I was selected to part of Softball Youth Elite to compete in high-level, prestigious tournaments nationwide including PGF, Alliance, SoftballFest and more.
This is such a tremendous honor! 

My first SYE event will be in Panama City Florida December 27, 2021 thru January 1, 2022.

This experience includes the opportunity to compete with other A-level athletes from across the country, the ability to practice at a college venue and have NCAA award winners and coaches as guest coaches. Guest appearances by well-known softball legends can also be a part of the experience.
