I can't fomat Excel for this application, so the columns suck and I'm not going to retype them. These are the current standings not including the KU/MSU game which is currently being played.

In our situation our best pitcher would most likely be an 8th grade pitcher or JV at most schools. But she is one of our very few options. Gilbert and Ames area is a softball black hole for some reason. The few talented girls from Ames play club ball only, not high school. Our daughter is one of three in her grade who play club softball (compare that to at least 10-12 who play club basketball). And in all of high school I know of 1 who plays softball outside of school ball. CMB (Collins/Maxwell/Baxter) which was the smallest 3A school last year in our conference had 5 varsity level pitchers last year and went to state. There was one girl who moved from Ballard to CMB to have more of an opportunity to pitch because Ballard was stacked, too.

Our first year coach had a goal of winning 4 games last year (you can play max 42 games in a season, our team won't play quite that many). This year she is hoping to almost double and win 7.

Iowa Premier is located right nearby. Isn't that the top softball club in the state?
 
Capital One's done a pretty good job with their ads for the tournament this year.
Actually, I take my disagree back....the reverse hoodie one made me spit out my beverage....that was pretty good. Samuel L Jackson is SOOOOOOO overexposed though...I don't even hear what he says anymore.....he is like bad nitrogen.
 
I keep humming that Aerosmith song from that 1990's movie Armageddon....can't get it out of my head.
 
So we have a IP camera in LittleWx's room that we can look at on our phones and sometimes there will be a small white blurr type thing across the screen. MrsWx has not been a fan of my suggestion that it is haunted.

Is there a chance the white blur could be a light or a light source that the camera is showing as over exposed?

Still in Des Moines, there are quite a few clubs in DSM area. They may produce some good players, but not a club we would want to work with. I am convinced there is no perfect club, though. We like our club we are with for what we want at the moment. The travel wears on our daughter, though, as far as travel to/from practice. Tonight was in Waukee which is an hour each way. We have access to our indoor facility as part of our club dues, but hard to get her down there. 45 min each way just to go hit balls. If she was an only child it would be doable, but too many other kids to put all our time and efforts into just one kid and one sport. Ames is lacking for indoor space that is easily accessible.
 
Going to have to make a dr. appt. tomorrow. A couple of times this week i woke up and got some minor pain when putting weight on my right foot. This morning when I got up I can barely even walk. I haven't done anything strenuous in regards to running or jumping.

Afraid it's going to be something I will have to stay off my feet for a long period of time and can't afford to not be able to work as my job is a on your feet at all times job.

Is it at the base of your big toe?

Does it get better after walking on it a bit?
