Best 14U Texas Teams

[rip it]

Don't know much about how the Glory teams are ran, but they have been competitive way to long to be playing Daddy Ball.

As play4fun stated if the redheaded girl left I would imagine it has something to do with pitching time over daddy ball. I would believe that at this age level the "Daddy Ball" coaches, won't be able to field a competitive team for very long. Parents and players egos aren't going to just sit around and continue to watch a coaches daughter not get the job done.

Might just be true.... I looked at their website and she is not listed anymore. Where did she go? I'm sure it won't take long for someone to snatch her up.

Think about it, Drummond had one of the best pitchers in the state back in July of last year. How many has he gone through since then, 3 or 4 that I know of. Why don't they stay with Glory Drummond. If all those pitchers were that bad then why did he pick them in the first place. Yes they have been successful and is still a good team and will win a lot of games, but remember this they will not win a lot of the big games. Three to four months from now the BB pitcher will not be with the team. Then another and another and another. My two cents

Drummond's daughter is a pitcher. After last season, the tall blonde kid who is arguably the best '94 pitcher in North Texas leaves to go the Fusion (Sidwell). I think another pitcher left as well. This season, the big redhead leaves to go where ever. Sounds like there might be some daddyball going on to me.

Seems like every time the last few years that I look around and Drummond is losing, his DD is on the mound. This team wins because they have a roster full of girls who crush the ball. You have to wonder how long before the hitters start to follow the pitchers especially when you consider that despite the longer tenure with the Glory organization there is no question the organization has positioned the Glory (Elliott) as the next big thing and not Drummond's group.

I have never posted anything before, but I really enjoy most of the posts I read on this forum. This time I thought I should clear up the speculation about why "Red" left the Glory 94. We had to make this difficult decision because we live in Boerne, Texas and gas is $3.50 a gallon. For those of you who don't know where that is, it's north of San Antonio on IH10, no less than 5 hours away from Dallas. My dd LOVES that team, their girls, and their coaches. She is heartbroken right now that we made her change to a local team that she can make practices with and play more locally (of course, except for the bigger tournaments). We have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Glory 94 and all their families who made us "out of towners" welcome and a part of their family; we are missing them already!!

Welcome to the board. Sorry to lose you and your DD to the price of gas. You made some coach in Boerne very, very, very happy I would guess. Won't be long before we all are back playing local rec leagues because none of us can afford the "travel" in travel ball.

sorry to hear that as well....she is a heck of a pitcher....Is the older sis still going to be playing in north Texas?

[macball]

No, sorry Honcho, we already made our older daughter switch to a closer team for the same reason. She wasn't very happy about it either. Thank you for asking.

[macball]

Thank you for your kind words about our pitcher daughter too.
