PURE GRIT → MIDDLE SCHOOL BALL! 🥎💜

A HUGE congratulations to Kate, Tansley, Mya & Hadley on earning spots on their middle school softball teams! 🎉

These girls have put in the practices, extra reps, long tournament days, wins, losses, tough innings and everything in between — and now they get another opportunity to take the field, represent their school and keep growing their game.

Different uniform. Still our GRIT girls. 💜

Go compete. Be coachable. Hustle. Be a great teammate. Have FUN. And represent yourselves well.

We are incredibly proud of all four of you and can't wait to cheer you on from the sidelines this school season! 🥎🔥

Congratulations Kate, Tansley, Mya & Hadley! 💜

🏆 CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY | PURE GRIT 12U 🏆

Four games. Four wins. A shutout. A walk-off. A championship.

And a whole lot of PURE GRIT. 💜🥎

GAME 1 | W 6–2 vs. Asheville Angels 12U

We opened the day against the Asheville Angels and found ourselves down 2–0 early. Our girls answered immediately.

Morgan doubled, Aubrey singled, and Addi drove in the go-ahead run. Hadley and Piper added doubles as the offense kept rolling.

🔥 Hadley: 3 IP | 1 H | 1 ER
🔥 Aubrey: 1 scoreless inning | 2 Ks
🔥 7 different players recorded hits
🔥 6 stolen bases

GAME 2 | W 6–0 vs. NWNC Elite 2015

🔒 SHUTOUT.

Piper + Hadley handled the first three innings in the circle and behind the plate before Morgan + Maddie closed it out.

Piper was lights out — 3 IP | 1 H | 0 R | 4 Ks. Morgan followed with a hitless, scoreless inning.

Hadley and Mya each collected two hits, while Aubrey drove in two.

Big time catches in the OF by Halle & solid plays at 2nd by Addi and Kate. Our defense was locked in for game 2.

GAME 3 | W 5–4 vs. Asheville Angels 14U

This was the one that tested us.

Down 4–2 with TWO OUTS in the bottom of the third, we were one out away from our tournament ending.

Then Morgan came through BIG.

A clutch single to center brought home TWO RUNS to tie it 4–4 and keep Pure Grit alive.

➡️ International tiebreaker.

And that’s when TANSLEY stepped up. 💥

With the game and a trip to the championship on the line, Tansley delivered the WALK-OFF SINGLE to bring home the winning run.

5–4. BALLGAME. CHAMPIONSHIP BOUND.

Without Morgan’s two-out hit, there is no extra inning.

Without Tansley’s clutch at-bat, there is no championship game.

And after a day of stepping up for her team when it mattered most…

🏆💜 TANSLEY — TOURNAMENT MVP 💜🏆

There couldn’t have been a better example of what we want our girls to understand: you never know when your moment is coming. Be ready when it does.

GAME 4 | CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆
W 11–6 vs. Toxic Prowlers-Smith

Then the bats EXPLODED.

💥 12 hits
💥 11 runs
💥 12 stolen bases

Mya went a perfect 3-for-3, collecting a hit in every inning.

Aubrey and Hadley each drove in two. Piper went 2-for-2. Morgan added two RBI of her own.

And Morgan was dealing in the circle — 3 IP | 6 Ks — before Aubrey came in to finish it.

FINAL: 11–6. CHAMPIONS. 🏆

Yesterday wasn’t about one player carrying this team.

Different girls stepped up in different moments.

Someone got the hit.
Someone took the walk.
Someone stole the base.
Someone made the pitch.
Someone caught the inning.
Someone drove in the run.
And when we were down to our final out, someone refused to let our day end.

4–0 on the day.
23 runs scored.
One walk-off.
One championship.
One Tournament MVP. 🏆

Proud of this entire group and especially proud of Tansley for earning Tournament MVP and coming through in one of the biggest moments of the day.

That’s PURE GRIT. 💜🖤

🥎 Friday Night Lights with Pure Grit 10U 💜

What a night! 🔥🥎

36 girls. Two fields. Four teams. Players from right here in our local community and some who traveled almost two hours just to be there. And not once did we worry about who was on which team or who won the game.

No team division. No stress. Just playing. 💜

Friday night was all about giving these girls a chance to get on the field, compete, learn, make new friends, play different positions, try new things, and step outside their comfort zones. Some girls got to play positions they don’t normally play, while others had the opportunity to try something completely new. That’s what these nights are about — giving them the freedom to learn, grow, and have fun without the pressure. 🥎

Two fields going. Four teams rotating. Coaches working together. Families cheering. Girls making memories. That’s how you grow the game. 💜

A HUGE thank you to every player, parent, coach, and volunteer who traveled near and far to make Friday night so special. We are incredibly grateful for everyone who continues to support these girls and these scrimmages!
We had an absolute blast and cannot wait to do it again! 💜🥎

Friday Night Lights just hits different. 🌙

Here are a few of our favorite moments from the night! 📸
