I had to look hard to find this article on the internet, and as you can see, it was only a couple of photographs with captions. OTHER sporting events get massive coverage. This was a great tournament and the culmination of a great season for the ladies. This is PURE sports, I'm sure there are others, but I honestly think these young ladies are the epitome of what college athletics should be. They get a fine education, prepare exceptionally well, represent their schools, and ENJOY the entire experience. Neat, also, Hannah the Florida pitcher and Jaclyn Traina, her counterpart on Alabama have been competing against each other since little league, then high school, now college .... and, they hardly ever speak to each other. I think they each have had championships at each level .... first one, then the other. I THANK THEM ALL FOR A COMPETITIVE AND AN ENJOYABLE SEASON .......
