“ I look forward to getting together with the young pitchers at Camp to share my Dream with them. Each day I work on their training sets with them and later we talk about their goals and dreams. You never know what may happen on your Team. Sometimes it’s not about you and you have to move on and work harder if your team leaves you. Coaches will say things they may regret later. It all works out. It did for me. You have to leave your doubts with the people that doubted you or your potential. Coach Adam saw me as an opportunity to build a Dream when nobody else wanted to, he stepped up for me. I went through a major change. He helped me reach my immediate goals at Lakes High School and LadyHawks 18u, then was able to drive me to my Dream of one day playing college softball as a starting pitcher my Freshman year of College. You never give up trying and working hard at your Dreams no matter what. ”.

Stephanie Shupe, starting pitcher in 2009 as a Freshman

will be on the mound again in 2010 with Lakes High School

.

Experience is key for any young varsity pitcher. Stephanie pitched in every game for Lakes in 2009 and that kind of experience can really pay off in the long run. Steph also pitched the majority of the games for Lady Vikings club team in 2009. Now in the off season Shupe is putting together her pitches with more speed an movement and taking on the responsibilities of being a leader with coach Adam and her dad Bryan at LFA Pitching Camps.

.

Stepahnie Shupe has some big shoes to fill. 2007 All League Pitcher, Kelli Bornander from Lakes High School went on to be a starting pitcher for NSU. Shay Naranjo of MsStix 14u went on to place 10th at Nationals with Acers 16a in 2006. Steph has worked hard will little time off. Now doubling-up her Pitching training for the Fall with coach Adam and her dad Brian.
.

Stephanie has been training with coach Adam La Serna for the past 12 months on every type of pitch there is. Stephanie has pitched her share of games in 2009, over 40 games!! Experience is hard to come by these days in ASA/NSA/USSS Fastpitch. Everyone wants the starting spot and have the ball in their hand. Steph has seen the competition on Varsity as a pitcher for Lakes high school in Lakewood,Washington. Pitching every game on varsity is a big accomplishment in high school AAA schhol ball. She was able to do that with some big help from her dad Bryan and coach Adam. "Adam pushes her pretty hard. He knows what she needs to work on and it helps her focus on every type of pitch and game situation. MsStix coach Roger was happy to hear she was trained by Coach Adam. His goddaughter Shay pitched for Roger when she was 12 years old. "

.

"Shay helped Roger win his first 14u Championship in 2002. It was a fun weekend and it was the last tournament of the summer. Shay shared the pitching duties with Sarah Holman a 14 year old pitcher. As a 12 year old, Shay really learned allot about fastpitch from Roger and how the game is played. We look forward to Stephanie playing ball for Roger and the MsStix."

.

2010 will be a season for building another future outstanding 18 Gold program such as the one in 2008, coached by Roger Mosier.

.
The MsStix Purple will hold tryouts for a new 16U team for 2010.
This new SBA MsStix 16U team will be coached by Roger Moshier and Kelly Parsons.
Coach Roger has coached at the 16U and 18U levels and has taken several of his past MsStix teams to the ASA Nationals tournaments. Kelly Parsons is a current “All Conference” catcher at Montana State University - Billings and former MsStix player. A strong core of players from the 2009 MsStix Purple 14A team will move up to 16U, and we are looking to add 5 - 6 new MsStix players to this team. The MsStix will play several local fall tournaments before we begin our winter workouts indoors at Varsity Baseball in Kent. During the spring and summer we will play in 10 – 12 tournaments including NSA State, ASA Metros, and ASA Regionals along with a couple of travel tournaments in Newburg Oregon (NAFA Summer Nationals & West Coast Challenge), and Eastern Washington.

Former LAKES HIGH SCHOOL standout, Alison Mc Wherter, now a National Champion at University of Washington leads the path for players from Lakes High School such as Kelli Bornander and Stephanie Shupe. Some big shoes to fill but similar steps taken already to grow into great fastpitch players. The dedication factor has been raised. Kelli, now a Sophomore trained very hard over the summer with Coach Adam on perfecting the power riseball alongside Stephanie at LFA Summer Pitching Camp. These two outstanding players are also 4.0 students. Athletes who care about their education and being the best leaders and role models. Lakes High School is a place of inspired students with a vision for being the best they can be. Alison Mc Wherter was one of the Lakes High School inspired students who helped lead UW Softball to a National Crown in 2009 will try to do it again in 2010. Being the best seems to be a Lakes High School trait and a good one.
