💙🧨Colorado Sparkler Recap 🧨💙

What a week!

The record wasn’t what we wanted, but this tournament is about so much more than wins and losses. Every game gave us an opportunity to compete against some of the better teams in the country, and these girls never stopped fighting.

They showed resilience, heart, and the kind of grit that doesn’t always show up on a scoreboard. They celebrated each other, picked each other up, and continued to compete until the final out.

There are a lot of lessons we’ll bring home, a lot of confidence to continue to build on, and Midwest Nationals in town still left to play this week.

Proud of this group. The future is bright. ❤️🥎
