  4. Lady ‘Dogs reunite, win championship The Port Arthur News The 2008 Nederland High School softball team that came within one inning of a state championship, reassembled last week for the 18-and-under Independent Fast Pitch Association National Tournament, which was played at Ford Park in Beaumont. The tournament started July 26th and ran through Saturday. Known as Nederland Intensity, the girls won 10 out of their 11 games and claimed the national title by beating the California Runnin Rebels 3-0 on Saturday. The Intensity was made up of 2008 NHS seniors Caitlyn Austin, Taylor Trojcak and Katelyn Worsham, as well as Ashleigh Kuhn, Lindsey Rossi, Jordan Bodin, Jordan Hightower, Krista Mayer, Shelby Phillips, Logan LeBlanc and Layken Richard, who played for this year's team which made it to the Class 4A regional semifinals. In 2008, the Lady Dogs surprised many by just qualifying for state. They then beating Dripping Springs 1-0 in the semifinals and took No. 1 ranked Aledo to the 15th inning before falling 4-0. That 15-inning marathon set a record for the longest championship game in Class 4A history. For Nationals, Richard's younger sister Jenson Richard and Breanna Miller both joined the team. Jenson and Miller are freshmen to be. The girls also picked up Temple Junior College's Michelle Stratta, who was invited by Austin, a Temple teammate. Rossi and Bodin will join Austin and Stratta this fall. Stratta was used as Intensity's designated player. Before winning the championship, Nederland knocked off Houston Power by a score of 7-2 in the semifinals. The Power was averaging eight runs per game before playing Intensity. Nederland also edged the Tennessee German Town Red Devils with a 4-2 decision. German Town, which was favored to win Nationals, gave Intensity their only loss of the tournament. But Nederland came back to beat the Red Devils in the quarterfinals.
  5. No you don't understand, they had a great team, but they didn't have all of the best players. What could be done with the best 12-15 kids from the area, this was just the tip of the iceberg. I'll agree we didn't have all the best individual players on this team. But as a TEAM they are the best playing together in the area. You can have 12 - 15 of the BEST players talent wise but if they can't play as a TEAM it doesn't matter. Intensity is a sisterhood of girls that believe in each other, stand behind each other and love each other. Also this group of players are the biggest bunch of cut-ups and goof-offs that you'll ever see. They have fun and they are fun to be around. But when they hit the field, its like turning on a switch. It's show time and they truly believe that they are capable of beating any opponent they face. One thing I learned is sometimes we can try and control or over coach these kids when infact they probably know more about this game than we do. Ask anyone these kid basically coach themselves.
  6. Here we go again. : and to think, I thought some folks had learned. You my big moderator friend are one of the haters, why haven't you learned?? Loved or Hated we always had a packed house at all of our games this week. Standing room only Friday and Saturday.
  7. I would like to thank all the OOC (Out of Control) family. Someone from this organization was always at one of our games this last week. Especially Friday and Saturday. You guys were very supportive of the girls, coaches and parents. I can't thank you guys enough. Thanks for the scrimmages to help us get ready this summer. And thanks for making us feel like one of the family.
  8. Well the results are in and in the end ALL of the underclassman from INTENSITY got a lot of looks from college coaches this week and have atleast one college coach interested in their future. I know a lot of you just couldn't wait for this team to fall on their faces. Even during Nationals our parents heard the trash talking here and there while we were playing. Well it didn't happen. This team was very special. Thanks for the bulletin board material I truly believe it was very motivational for the players and coaches. And yes we did have fun.
