/TD>
| June 11-12 Shamrocks WIN 2011 ASA
16U STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, never losing a game in
tourney! After a major
re-organization and huge roster turnover, the newly
recruited and led 16U Shamrock team returned to
tradition and prior habits rooted in success. This team
sprouted from the hallowed ground under the house that
the SHAMROCKS built!!! Quickly, it was apparent, this
was no ordinary team, as predicted early in 2011, this
16U Shamrock team would be a force to be reckoned with
nationally. With a record number of our girls
unavailable for play early in the softball season, due
to participation in the STATE AAA championship process,
the 16U teamed emerged for their first challenge on the
weekend of June 11th & 12th. We emerged on a
mission, to win the ASA state championship and make a
statement to the softball community. Two goals, both
clearly achieved. With a perfect record, no losses and
the ONLY team to never dip to the losers bracket, the
VERY BEST teams in Virginia at the 16 level battled to
test the "Rocks" and perhaps win the title for
themselves. With stunning pitching and an offense
riddled with short game and gap shots, the rocks rolled
thru the tournament from start to finish. The
combination of the pitching battery and the offense was
no match for challengers. Winning the tournament meant
obtaining a bid to the ASA National Championship in
Chattanooga, TN at the very first chance for any team in
VA. Defending the 2010 ASA 16U championship, a year
which included a 14U ASA championship as well won by a
portion of the current roster, this year was again a
tribute to the success of the Shamrocks program. A 39
year tradition of unbridled success at the national
level cannot by bought but only earned and this ASA
tourney was yet again another demonstration of why we
say "THERE IS ONLY ONE SHAMROCKS!" Congratulations to
this truly spectacular team, who now will prepare for
the nationals while attending some of the best showcase
tournaments in the country during the time between now
and the first week, of August!
