Well, it wouldn't have been Blugold softball without rain and cold today. We actually DID go through with our annual intrasquad game, but it was in the rain and cold as our players' parents faithfully watched under umbrellas and dressed for December! I was proud of our players, as I pretty much left the decision to them whether or not they wanted to play today. They said, "We've played in worse, Coach," so we went ahead with a 5-inning game under occasional steady rain. The "worse" I think they were referring to was a doubleheader vs. UW Stevens Point last spring with a wind chill of below 30 degress, and snow that, at times, was coming down pretty heavily. I guess that's what you have to be prepared for when you play spring softball in Wisconsin......it's not all that much fun at times, but it is what it is. All day today everyone kept talking about how beautiful the day was YESTERDAY (it was the PERFECT fall day yesterday), and I wish I could have ordered up another day just like it today, but oh well.
After the intrasquad game was over, the players and coaches then got to enjoy all the great food that the parents brought for our annual potluck that we have each year on our intrasquad day. I thank the parents wholeheartedly for their efforts and all the great food! We had quite a spread today!
Congrats go out this weekend to all of the Blugold teams! Our fall sports are off to a great start and we're gaining a lot of momentum as we get closer to the start of winter sports. Our volleyball team defeated UW Oshkosh on Saturday 3-0 in their home opener. Coming into Saturday's game, Oshkosh was 19-1 overall. It was a great win with a great crowd! Our women's golf team was sitting in 1st place at the conference meet, as of this writing. Our football team also defeated UW Oshkosh 34-0 in their Homecoming game, and our women's soccer team also won their conference match-up vs. UW Whitewater on Saturday afternoon. On Friday, both our men's and women's cross country teams finished in 3rd place at the Blugold Open. It's a great time to be a Blugold!
We finish up fall practice this week, and then it's on to all the off-season preparation for the spring.
Our clinic information is all online now, including our brochure and online registration. We're looking forward to a series of great clinics during the winter this year! Hopefully some of you reading this will register to attend one or more of our clinics. We'd love to help you become a better softball player.
Until next time.......hit 'em hard!
Coach Huntington
ReplyDeletePicking a bat that is too heavy its wrong idea. Remember, when swinging a bat, you want to have a quick light bat to make contact quick and fast. This is what gives the ball a lot of pop. If you're swinging a bat that's too heavy, you're going to be slow. Best slow pitch softball bats

ReplyDeleteGames like this can be interesting and can be healthy for a person but motivation is the most important thing for sports because if we don't have any motivation adn interest so everything will be useless. I am a Jennifer Beals and i am working in the ghostwriting agency because that was my dream i was motivated about that but if i couldn't then i can't be the one.
ReplyDeleteThe Blugold athletes' commitment, even in inclement weather, is absolutely inspiring! Their determination and perseverance embody a spirit of winning. Much like in sports, success demands preparation—if you require academic help, you can pay someone to do my online exam for professional guidance.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed reading about the dedication of your players! Reminds me of when I wrote a piece on youth sports resilience—though I was just ghostwriting , the passion came through. Playing in that weather takes serious grit. Kudos to the team and parents! Looking forward to hearing more about your clinics.
ReplyDeleteRain and cold weather may not be the most ideal conditions for softball, but the Blugold players showed true resilience by going ahead with their annual intrasquad game. Despite the steady rain and chilly temperatures, the athletes embraced the challenge, reminding their coach that they had already endured harsher conditions in the past. Their reference to last spring’s doubleheader against UW Stevens Point—with snow and a wind chill below 30 degrees—highlighted just how tough Wisconsin softball players have to be. While it would have been nice to recreate the beautiful fall day that came before, the team’s decision to play through adversity demonstrated their grit, unity, and dedication to the sport.

ReplyDeleteThe game may have been dampened by the weather, but spirits were lifted afterward when players, coaches, and families enjoyed the annual potluck. The parents provided an incredible spread of food, making the day feel more like a celebration than a struggle against the elements. These moments off the field—sharing meals and laughter—are just as important in building team spirit as the competition itself. Coach Huntington’s gratitude to the parents shows how valuable community support is in creating a strong, positive environment for student-athletes.
Beyond softball, it has been a stellar weekend for Blugold athletics. With volleyball defeating a tough Oshkosh team, football shutting them out in Homecoming, soccer winning an important conference matchup, and golf and cross country performing well, the program is thriving across the board. As fall practices wrap up and the offseason begins, there’s much to look forward to with winter clinics and the coming spring season. It’s clear that for Coach Huntington and the Blugolds, the future holds excitement, hard work, and continued success. Jeep wrangler price in Kenya are on discount at Magari Deals.
