Team IMPACT and Kayla Flowers
For those of you who haven't heard about Kayla Flowers in awhile from Kentucky Lake Times, well she's still around, and she's still playing softball.
Kayla joined a team out of Henderson, TN, a few months ago called IMPACT. IMPACT just went to USFA State Championships and won 1st place. This 12U Fastpitch Softball Team played in Hendersonville on June 29-July 1st at Veterans Park along with 16 other 12U teams. IMPACT went undefeated and allowed only seven runs throughout the three day tournament.
The girls head out for the World Series in Panama City, FL July 7th. They are one tight team. They welcomed Kayla in and placed her at her favorite spot 2nd Base. Our Defense on this team is unstoppable. Madison Matlock, which Kayla played with on the Dixie Dynamites, covers 1st base and Jessica Weeks, Coach Weeks daughter, covers short stop, along with Jana Frye on 3rd. If you get something past these girls, well it had to be up and over their heads. Coach John has worked many long hours, has been hit with MANY balls, and has skinned his knees and legs up many times to work with these girls and make them the ball players they have become and are going to be. And they never disappoint him. Following the win at State, Coach Weeks just stood back and let the girls have their moment and he just smiled.
Kayla still wears her old Dixie Dynamite helmet. And Mom still flies the Dixie Dynamite sticker on her vehicle. The Dixie Dynamites is where she started and was taught softball and loved the team. As Lorrie Matlock says to the girls, "I'll be a Dynamite until the day I die". Kayla is back with her old coach Micah Matlock, he can do more with her than anyone can. According to Mom, "She still has a bit of an attitude problem at times, and Micah knows how to handle it. Micah isn't coaching with the new team, but he's there and he keeps Kayla in line."
So off to World we go. Wish us luck KLT readers.
