Bet Your Ash You Can: C-O-U-G-A-R-S are WINNERS

I have been a little busy when it comes to updating my blog. Here is a BIG reason why. Since the beginning of May our Oklahoma Cougars have been kicking some major booty. Those boys seriously turned it on and it showed in almost every game. Not to say they didn't take some lumps along the way, it's just they used that to build from and be all that much better of a team. Mike has always tried to teach them that the pre-season and middle of the ball season is what you build from. It's the end of the season you work the hardest for. Do your business in the big tournaments where it counts. Show what a great team you are when it really counts! Hey Mike, I'd say they were listening! I know they made you proud!
June 22, 23, 24 & 25 Cougars are in Muskogee for AAA State Tourney!
IT WAS SO STINKIN' HOT ~ CRAZY, STUPID HOT!! What was suppose to be a 3 day tourney ended up being 4 because those silly boys just had to play all the way through the loser's bracket to end up winning 4 games ALL BACK-TO-BACK sending it to an additional day of play for THE CHAMPIONSHIP! They fought hard and made some parents super proud!!! They ended up playing a great game against the Tulsa Tarheels taking 2nd (3-1). No blowout that's for sure. We watched this team beat up on other teams. Glad we hung in there. I know this Momma was happy and proud of their accomplishments!

After the game on Monday night we had to drive home and turn around to head back out on the road to be in Kansas City/Liberty Missouri by Wednesday June 27th- July 1st for The 2012 Global World Series. I can say even with a lot of laundry (uniform washing), re-packing, driving and lack of sleep..... IT WAS WORTH IT!

Our goal was to make this an awesome memorable trip for those deserving boys. They hung out, shopped, went swimming, went out to eat EVERYWHERE, a little Birthday celebration at Dave & Busters, played some great baseball, visited Kansas City Royals Facility & Arrowhead Stadium. Some of them actual got on the field for some great pictures since The All Star Game was coming to town and the city was getting everything prepped. After all was said and done those boys made their own dreams come true. THEY WON! COUGARS WIN IT! WHAT A WAY TO END THE SEASON COUGARS! CONGRATS BOYS! FOUGHT HARD FOR A WELL DESERVED OUTCOME!!!
