For the record, I am not porcupine!!
Both Amie & Kenny have done a great job with their teams and will continue to instruct their players to be the best they can be.
In the 10's my daughter played for Amie and we decided to move on. By know means did that mean we were never appreciative of the effort and commitment that Amie & her staff provided my daughter. Through that experience, I know what kind of commitment and passion Amie has for her girls.
Both the Rebel & Angel organizations are fine organizations and I know both will continue to stay on the course of excellence through the leadership of coaches like Amie & Kenny.
Let's remember, both of these coaches are just trying to help these girls and their commitment should be commended.
Sincerely
Ken Lahners

Everytime my daughters team has had the Rebels on the ropes they become obnxious and try to intimidate the opposing team with there chants and yelling Rebels to the girls when they come off the field (opposing team).
If this is what they have to do to win a close game for their team, I don't consider it a true win in my book. Distraction, Intimidation and being obnxious has nothing to do with Talent, Ability and Perserverance.
And one more thing! Is there any consequences for these teams actions like suspensions from tournaments or anything? Or is this behavior going to be able to just be blown off until it happens again (which it will until there are sanctions).

I have heard from a reliable source that both teams involved in the Surf City Tourney scuffle have been suspended from any Surf City Tourney for one year. Not just the teams but the coaching staff as well. The suspension will follow the coaches for 12 months no matter where they are coaching. Surf City Tourneys are not taking any sides and feel that both teams are at fault. Everyone should learn from this and move forward in a positive direction. With that being said please lets move on and make your next post something constructive,
Thanks and have a great fastpitch week
