Of course more scenarios, but you can't always second-guess coach's decision...in my opinion, the chances of the 3rd out were much higher than that of a PERFECT throw into home!

Great competition!!!

It was a great game! Congrats to a well-played game by both teams!!! (Curious SoftballFan14... why do you seem to be so happy when Ryle loses? Isn't this supposed to be a forum that benefits high school players, their teams, and their families? Didn't your kid used to play at Ryle? Do you realize that many of her "friends" are still there? Do you realize that when you insult Ryle's program, you insult the girls and families that are there? Do you know that there are only a few families (most of them bitter and angry about positions/playing time just like you seem to have been) who don't like the Oliverios? Do you know that the Oliverios instill key values in their students and players every single day? Aren't you at ND, a Catholic school now? Don't the teachings of ND still involve forgiveness and the 10 Commandments? Why are the most hateful and ignorant posts locked? Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror? Do you know that most of the Ryle players and fans don't read your posts because the posts are heartless and cruel? Do you think it's fair that a handful of bitter parents can ruin a person's career over a softball position (clearly lost to a better-performing player in that position), especially when the new position was just as important and H.S. performed as outstanding as expected there? Do you know that there are literally hundreds of players and families who support the Oliverios 100%? Do you know that you criticize others for making comments about your daughter, but you do the same to other people's children all the time? Are you going to follow your kid to college also so you can pick and choose her coaches and professors? How about her first real job... choose her boss? Didn't you say something about karma and what goes around comes around? Why can't you see yourself in any of this? Soon people will get tired of your whining and nasty, bitter comments... let it go. From what I understand, your kid doesn't even play at Ryle anymore....enough already. (BTW... my guess as to why Ryle didn't perform this year... it had nothing to do with the pitching... more likely had to do with a team poisoned by a few ridiculous parents and an administration with no backbone.) Don't feel that you must reply... I have said my piece and just wish for you (not just you, but ALL those people who slander others in their posts) to do some soul-searching and really take a look at yourself. You may not like the decisions made at Ryle, or any other school for that matter, but personal attacks on others are not necessary. We teach our children to be polite, kind, generous, honest, and forgiving...look at the example you're setting.

And some great bunting from the Cougars!

It was a terrific game... Congrats to Conner for the win and to Ryle for their great game as well! Ryle coach had to send the runner in to try and tie the game...Conner with a perfect throw into home! Nicely played by both teams! (1 outstanding senior - 2nd baseman McKell Oliverio!!!)
