Ava Formell

Trying to fine tune before my first year of college ball! I’m so excited and I’m gonna miss Coach K so much!!! She has been my pitching coach since 12u!! @MvpPate @LadyBantams

I’m full of emotions today as I realized this weekend was going to be the last time I put on my Bombers‘s jersey, the last time waking up at 5 AM the last time rushing out of the house, the last time doing dailies with my PO Buddy and the last time being around my group of girls for the last few years. They have been with me through my ups and downs, supported me through everything, celebrated everything with me and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Softball in general has made me the person I am today. I’ve had my ups and downs, but this sport through the years has taught me strength, courage, compassion, confidence, and how not to be a wimp! As I pitched in my last game today, I pitched it all as I always do, but this game was special as it was the last one in my Bombers’s jersey as I close this chapter in my life to open up another, and I’m beyond grateful and so excited for the future!! Go Bantams!! @Bombers_HTX @LadyBantams

Took the win tonight!! Headed the Gold bracket tomorrow! @LadyBantams @Bombers_HTX

My summer season is officially over. I learned a lot, I got stronger and I know there are really big things in store for me. Here are a few of my plays offensively and defensively. Emma and I turned another double play. I'm excited for the fall season and for my senior year.

@AvaFormell We can’t stream the games because the facility is streaming the games. I’ll try to find out which service they are using and send it to you.
