Another softball season in the books . . .

I purposefully have not blogged about the WF Lady Knights post season until now. Yes, they made the playoffs. Yes, they won their regional tournament. Yes, they were one game away from the lower state championship game when they were knocked out last night. They did a great job this year, shocked EVERYONE in the SC softball world. And another season is down . . .

I particularly appreciated the coaches this year. This was Krissy’s fourth year playing, and each year I have grown to know and appreciate our coaches even more. Denise Carter is the varsity coach and head of the entire thing. Amanda Raniszewski (I call her Coach R) is the JV coach. Both coaches set great examples this year and instilled character into their girls. And it is obvious to a dad.

And then, there is HERB. Herb Carter (Donnie’s brother and Denise’s husband) helped with both. Some of you who know Herb ask, “What in the world did he do??” He was the spirit of both teams when work did not prohibit him from being their. He kept them talking, kept them loose, and kept encouraging.

I write about these guys because I appreciate them. I know they made a great difference in one of those girls, and I am sure almost every parent feels the same. If anything, I just want to say THANKS to them for all they have done!!

And, GET ‘EM NEXT YEAR!!
