CONGATES TO ALLY SNIPES

Mad River Mist player Ally Snipes announced late last week that she will be playing college ball for Humboldt Sate University. Congratulations ALLY!   This announcement comes on the heels of Eureka High Schools commanding 10-2 victory over Analy High School in the North Coast Sectional D-3 playoffs on Saturday.  Given Humboldt State's track record of hitting the long-ball throughout their stellar 2013 season, it was only fitting that ALLY hit TWO home runs in Saturday's playoff game. 

Mad River Mist - Humboldt Fastpitch player Ally Snipes recently announced her intent to
play for Humboldt State University in the 2014 season.    

Following the high school playoffs, Ally will continue to practice and play with the combined 16/18u Mad River - Humboldt Fastpitch girls under the tutelage of Coach Shanna McCraken. By the way, Coach McCraken, Head Softball Coach for Eureka High School and for the Mad River Mist's 16u/18u teams, will be leading the EHS Team in the D-3 semifinals against No. 7 seeded Campolindo High School on Tuesday May 2nd at 4 pm on the Eureka High School campus. Good luck Coach and congrates to you as well on a great HS season and playoff run!  We look forward to having you and your experienced coaching staff back with our 16/18u Mad River - Humboldt Fastpitch ASA players. 

We also have news that Tammy Valley, former McKinleyville High School Ace pitcher and freshman player for College of the Redwoods, may be practicing with the Mad River - Humboldt Fastpitch 16u/18u girls and playing in 18u tournaments with the Mist this summer. Welcome back Tammy and congratulations to you as well on your freshman season with CR!
