Ft Worth Cats 10u-Pacheco

Back in Texas… but we’re still reliving an unforgettable week in Branson! 🖤🤍

Nationals may be over, but the memories will last a lifetime. From big wins and incredible plays to laughs in the dugout and unforgettable moments with our team, every memory was captured through the lens of our amazing team photographer.

A huge shoutout to Jesus, Yoharis #43’s brother, for spending the entire week photographing our girls. He volunteered his time and talent to make sure these moments were captured for our players and families, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything he did!

🏆 NATIONALS MVPs 🏆

Some performances deserve to be celebrated, and these two absolutely earned it. 🖤🤍

🥎 Karsyn #21 – Pitching MVP
Karsyn was lights out all week long, leading from the circle with confidence, composure, and determination. Time after time, she answered the call, giving everything she had and keeping the Cats in the fight throughout our Nationals run. Her grit, work ethic, and competitive spirit were on full display, and we’re so proud of everything she accomplished.

🥎 Yoharis #43 – Catching MVP
Behind the plate, Yoharis was nothing short of incredible. She worked tirelessly all week, controlling the game, blocking pitches, throwing runners out, and leading our defense with poise beyond her years. Her toughness, leadership, and relentless effort helped anchor this team every step of the way.

These two were a huge part of our journey to becoming Branson National Finalists, and we couldn’t be more proud of them. Congratulations on your well-deserved MVP honors! Keep working, keep believing, and keep shining.

Way to represent the Cats!

🖤🤍 BRANSON NATIONALS FINALISTS 🤍🖤

What a journey.

Our championship run came up just one run short, but these girls have absolutely nothing to hang their heads about. They left everything they had on that field.

After starting at 8:00 AM, the Cats battled through five straight back-to-back games, fighting their way through the bracket with grit, determination, and heart. Every inning they proved what this team is made of—never giving up, never backing down, and playing for each other until the very last out.

While we didn’t bring home the championship trophy, we are leaving Branson as National Finalists, and that is something to be incredibly proud of.

To our players: thank you for your hustle, your resilience, and your unwavering belief in one another. You represented Fort Worth with class and heart every single game.

To our coaches, families, and everyone who cheered us on throughout the week—thank you for believing in these girls and supporting them every step of the way.

This may not have been the ending we wanted, but it was a season and a Nationals run we’ll never forget. The future is bright for these Cats. 🖤🥎

National Finalists. Forever proud.

CATS VS CATS SHOWDOWN

Sometimes the toughest games aren’t against strangers… they’re against family.

Today we went head to head with our sister team Cats-Hurtado.

While this one didn’t go our way, we’re incredibly proud of how our girls competed, never backed down, and left everything they had on that field.

Congratulations to our fellow Cats on a great game! Win or lose, it’s special to see two teams from the same organization battling it out on a national stage.

Heads up, Cats. We learn, we grow, and we’re ready for the next one. 🖤🤍🥎
