Houston Softball Teams Fares Well in Regionals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Houston was well represented at the Southwest Softball Association for the
\nDeaf softball tournament in Gulfport, Mississippi. Houston sent three
\nteams to Gulfport with hopes of winning the tournament. This tournament
\nwas the first ever tournament where two regions merged into one tournament
\nso the tournament included teams from the Southeast Softball Association for
\nthe Deaf as well.<\/p>\n

The teams \u2013 Houston Heat (coached by Amy Mata), Houston Thunderz (coached by
\nCalvin Kermit), and Houston Xtremes (coached by Billy Koch). The Houston
\nHeat fared quite well for their second year in existence \u2013 they finished the
\ntournament 1-3 with an exciting win over Corpus Christi. The Thunderz
\nfinished the tournament 1-2 with also an exciting win over Corpus Christi.<\/p>\n

The Houston Xtremes an underdog, in the tournament expecting to finish 3rd
\nbehind the favorites \u2013 Austin Toons (last year\u2019s reigning Champion), and the
\nSouthernBoyz. The Xtremes played a hard tournament playing three potential
\nTop 6 teams in the Nation (Carolina, Toons, and SouthernBoyz) and fared
\nquite well. The Xtremes finished 2nd in the regionals for the 2nd straight
\nyear and retained their fight to finish in the Championship game. Granted
\nthey finished short of their goal of finishing as the Regional Champions \u2013
\nbut they took all the right steps of moving forward and keep moving up.<\/p>\n

Zachary Reagan (Xtremes) and Justin Ashton (Xtremes) were named 1st Team All
\nStars<\/p>\n

Terrell Brittian (Xtremes) and Eric Garrison (Thunderz) was named 2nd team
\nAll Star<\/p>\n

Billy Koch (Xtremes) was named Manager of the Tourney<\/p>\n

So now the Xtremes next stop is to head to Portland, Oregon for the National
\nSoftball Association for the Deaf Tournament on August 5 -8, 2010. But we
\nare looking for donations and contribution from the community to help us get
\nthere. We need to raise about $3,000 to go to Portland so far we have
\nraised $1,000 and need to raise $2,000 more. So if you would like to donate
\nor contribute to the team for the Xtremes to represent HOUSTON to go to
\nNationals please feel free to contact us at coach@houstondeafsoftball.com.<\/p>\n
