Message: [QUOTE="Offthedome, post: 5516803, member: 7359"] Our best guys are young. Samuel showed his youth today. This may seem like a stretch, but I coached travel softball for 5 years. We always had our girls play up an age group. When they were 12 we played 14U. When they were 14 we played 16U, etc. That first year in every bracket was tough. The head coach kept lamenting how bad we were and I kept telling hiim, wait until next year; we're going to be really good. They had to play through the lumps to get better. Each next year we were winning tournaments. I see this the same way. This season will have glimpses of what they can do, and also days like today where they get whipped like kids. I agree that the defense needs new leadership and a different identity, but this team will be tough next year. Maybe you do need to put Carney in there to play through his youth as well. [/QUOTE]
