June 19, 2011 jah#4 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA TOURNAMENT AIKEN SC SUMMARY TERRY, FRAN,DAVE AND STAFF I have played Senior ball for 10 year, Run tournamets for last 4 years for SPA, I am so sad to say this was the worst run tournament I have ever played in. Great fellowship with other players, great place to play hitting cages great placed to hit before the game, but thats where it ended, umpires that didn't know the rule of senior ball or the game itself at times. The director or UIC didn't know the rules when called to the field. Dragging out the tournamet for 3 days with a 3 team bracket starting on Friday morning when most 50's still work. sitting around waiting with open fields and teams ready to play. this is just a few things IMO needs to be looked at to help senior ball to grow and not make teams avoid tournaments Don Ward Southern Elite Solfball SPA board of directors SPA National UIC |

Dec. 5, 2010 jah#4 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ridge Hooks has been hospitalized Steve thanks for letting our softball brothers know about Ridge. It was a long day for all of us at SPA with prayers that Ridge would recovery would be fast, and the Drs said his feeling in his arm and leg is back and he is recoveing is good. It will be slow for Ridge because of his fast pace hopping around the country promoting senior softball. Miss Ann is by his side and will help him slow down a little. they said he already trying to plan what he had to do net week. But thanks to all our friends for their prayers. Like Steve and Larry and others Ridge has prayed with me so many times hat really helped me in my time of need. His honesty and integrity has no match in senior ball again thanks for your payers Don Ward SPA softball Southern Elite/Reebok 50's |

Aug. 2, 2010 jah#4 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SOUTHERN CHAMPIONSHIPS hey Tom Think Major Plus!!!!! GREAT WIN in ISA world |
Aug. 2, 2010 jah#4 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA World It was a good tournament to see and talk to some friends because of the delays, Jerry did a good job gettint the tourney in, alot of games in a short time frame. only thing that was bad IMO was the big field 370 in the middle you would see 6-3 games in major+ for teams that was not adjust to the long fields and trump ball that got soft with the heat in the upper 90's. our team Kayson/ Southern Elite won the Major 50 because of foul balls and strike out because of the 1 pitch. We do have a outstanding pitcher that keep the other teams guessing what was coming the screwball or the curve. I did not like the extar game in the loser brkt, but without it we would have when home Sat. and would not been there on Sunday. We were 6-4 overall and won the tourney and Team Arkansas was 4-2 overall and came in runnerup. They are a first class team that if the tournament had stayed in the proper format would have IMO won the tournament. Don Ward Southern Elite 50 |

Jan. 23, 2010 jah#4 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Adoption of modification in bat standard I was told to look for the new Easton senior bat coming out and see the rating on it. Then some of the questions will be answered. I still can't believe as big as testing group as Dr. Brandt group nd all the testing they do they could not find any 44/375 balls to test with. Like Joe explained maybe the riddle will be clear Don Ward Southern Slam 55 Kaysons Grille 50 |
