Cooper Softball Andrews

Look how happy she is here! I love this shot of Kalyn Marie! She was being introduced at the game in Sundown Saturday. CRAZY busy weekend for the Bednarz family with Summer playing basketball and Kalyn in the playoffs! Plus, I was a nervous wreck! I couldn't watch her bat. I seriously couldn't. I was all worried because of her play last week in Midland. And not because I care one way or the other. I don't. I know that all players strike out. Have bad games. Play poorly. But because I know she beat her self up over it and yes, redeemed her self with some AWESOME defensive playing, but I know she wanted to hit well.

Saturday, she hit well. She was lead batter and first run over the plate. We just couldn't get past the nerves and tried to do too much to win this game. Several errors were made and several good things were done too as well. But the softball Gods gave the win to Andrews, which cut like a knife so bad because we are better than this team. We are. We really are.

I love this team! I know I said that about the basketball team as well, but when you spend this much time photographing these girls and getting into their expressions, faces, words, feelings, you fall in love and want the world for them.

I didn't take a TON of photos. But Steve Conway did and you can view his photos of the game by clicking HERE. For the Cooper Lady Pirates Softball Gallery, CLICK HERE.

Until next year...

Cooper vs Greenwood, again

OH, the joy! To see Midland Cheerleaders up close and personal! I especially LOVE the butt thong in red, drawn in and yes, it did go down the back, so someone had to use a sharpie on this guy and get their hand CLOSE to certain areas. But I admire their spunk and support of their team. But even the naked village people guys were NOT enough for Midland Greenwood. The Lady Pirates WON 2 games yesterday to take the Area Champs Title and I was so glad to be there to snag photos. Just a great day!

Boo was AWESOME! and her dad, even better! GO LADY PIRATES! I love this series of Burt cheering after she hit her double!!!

Kalyn played much better today. She was awesome in the field and even though they called her out at home on this slide (which is NOT a good picture of the call, that was one second before) she hit the ball and was more focused today.

This next shot CRACKS me up.

Of course, Coach got soaked. I wonder if they teach this part of the job in Coaching Class?

His wife was there through the entire day! That's support, however I did notice that she stayed dry. :)

I love you, Lady Pirates!

Next game, Andrews in Synder Friday @ 7 PM BE THERE!!!!
