| It came down to the wire
In the cross town rival between Caldwell and Vallivue the game could of gone either way.Bottom of the seventh Vallivue was ahead 4 to 3 but Vallivue's defence has been plagued with late inning errors
all season. Caldwell loaded up the bases on five errors. Vallivue's pitcher Makayla Cox made an outstanding play
at home for the second out of the inning. Caldwell made a substitution and put in one of their best clutch hitter,
but she was no match for Valivue's ace who took her down in three pitches to seal the win for Vallivue.
The winning pitcher Makayla Cox had 13k's and 1 walk and help... |
 | Close game but we came up short 4 to 2
We are still struggling as a team, but I had a good defensive night with six strike outs eight additional outs from the pitcher mound, two double plays and one pick off at third. We had runners on base; we just couldn’t come up with that one hit to score our base runners. |
 | Treasure Valley Umpires Clinic
I was asked to volunteer at the Annual Umpire’s Clinic. There were fifteen experienced umpires and thirty-five first time and second year umpires. I got to throw for almost two hours mainly movement pitches. It was a little freaky to have five umpires at a time behind the plate. I just knew I was going to throw a wild pitch and at least get one of them. I don’t know who had more fun, me or the Head Umpire making the new umpires flinch.

 | 2010 Made For Excellence Conference.
Just came back from a two day Advanced Leadership Development Conference for F.F.A. I learned a lot, made some new friends, and my roommate was hilarious. The conference was half class room learning, and leadership and team building skills. I don’t want to brag but our team rocked the skit. |

| Took my PSAT over the weekend.
The PSAT test was not as intimidating as everybody made it sound. I wish I would have brushed up on my geometry a little more. But that won’t happen next time, and I even like geometry. |
| We knew it was going to be tuff.
We took off for Las Vegas without three of our starters the catcher, third basemen and our second basemen. But that was only the beginning we lost our shortstop in the second game to a pulled hamstring for the rest of the tournament. The right fielder reinjured her foot and lost her for Sunday and our first basemen slide into home and fractured her ankle. Without six starters we struggled hitting and our defensive looked like the bad news bears at times. We somehow pulled it together with people playing out of position and some times a new position for the first time. We strung a few hits together... |
 | My other Passion!
Softball is a team sport but 4-H and FFA gives me the opportunity to excel as an individual. This is my favorite doe Haley and at the 2009 Western Idaho State Fair she was the Grand Champion Best of Breed, Best udder of Breed, Grand Champion Best in Show, Best Udder of Show, 1st place Dam & Daughter and 1st place Breeders Trio. It’s not only fun to own a top quality animal but also to improve the next generation through a quality breeding program. Haley and I also won the FFA Grand Champion Showman and The Western Idaho Statesman Award. |

| Magic Valley Sooners win Western Nationals undefeated.
Sooners dominate the competition in the week long tournament by a total score of 61 to 7. The Sooner pitching staff kept the batters off balance and what few batters did get on base the defense keeps them from advancing. Only two teams Downey and the Waves were able to score on the Sooners while five teams were held scoreless. |
| Magic Valley Sooners 16U State Champions
Sooners win the State Championship undefeated only allowing three runs the entire tournament. The Sooner also earns another berth to ASA Nationals. The Sooners are the defending 2008 Western National Champions. |
 | All American game at the Colorado Sparkler.
I was fortunate, and was selected to play in the All American game at 5:30 on field #2 at the Christopher Complex. I will be pitching for the blue team my jersey number is 11. |
| 47 degrees and pouring rain and they let us play away, Yea!!
With poor weather conditions we saw an increase of wild pitches. Pitch selection was the key for success today. Makayla Cox hit a laser shot three run homerun in the bottom of the fourth for Vallivue. A mixture of small ball, seem to be successful for both teams in a seesaw battle of mud and rain. Makayla ended the game with a 2 RBI double to defeat Meridian in the first game of districts. |
| Vallivue takes the 2nd win over a strong Mountain View team.
Makayla Cox ties up the game with a RBI triple. Going into the bottom of the 7th teammate Celsey Shipley leads off with a base hit followed by a terrific bunt from Stephanie Krantz to score the winning run. Makayla controlled the Mountain View hitters with 14 K’s in the circle and helped the defense by picking the lead runner at second and throwing two other runners out at first. |
| Four games left before Districts.
Centennial didn’t stand a chance with Vallivue’s Ace in the circle. Makayla Cox was able to control the Centennial hitters with 14 K’s and a great defense behind her. Vallivue pulled off an 8 to 1 victory. The bats were back for Vallivue; Makayla helped her team on the offense side with a double and a triple tonight. |
| Vallivue squashes Capital’s hope for second chance victory
A well coached Capital team makes several adjustments in anticipation of Vallivue’s pitching. Capital comes out playing small ball and threatens with players in scoring position. Vallivue pulls away with a victory from the pitching arm of Makayla Cox with 10k’s and some great defense. Vallivue shuts out Capital 11-0 in 5 innings. |
| Tough game against a hard hitting Eagle team.
Eagle with a 2 to 1 lead in the seventh tries to intentional walk Vallivue’s Brooke Simpson with two runners on. On ball three Brooke surprises everybody and hits a shot to right field scoring both base runners. Makayla Cox the winning pitcher ends the day with a 5 to 2 victory 15K’s, two hits and both runs unearned. |
| Makayla Cox pitches a perfect game
A tough victory for Vallivue Monday night at Mountain View as the two top ranked teams meet up. What was supposed to be a match up of two explosive high scoring offenses turned out to be a pitchers duel. Vallivue’s Makayla Cox comes out on top with a perfect seven inning game. Makayla finished with 17 K’s while Mountain View’s pitcher Brittany holds her own with 14 K’s and allowing only 4 hits. Vallivue’s offense was lead by Jessica Krohn with a two run homerun; Makayla 2-3 on the day with two doubles and a RBI single from Celsey Shipley. Final score Vallivue 3 Mountain View 0. |
| Beautiful weather for a double header.
Makayla Cox pitches a 12-0 shutout in the first game with some good defense behind her. Vallivue calls on Makayla in the third inning of the second game to help stop the momentum of Columbia’s offense. With bases loaded she pulls off three quick strike outs. Vallivue comes back from a five run deficit and scores 14 runs in the next three innings. The offense was lead off by Kaleen with her second homerun of the day. Makayla 2-2 in the second game hits an easy stand up double. With a bunch of confusion over a play at home plate Makayla sneaks in stealing home to end the game. |
| Makayla Cox pitched another shut out.
Makayla produce 20 of the 21 outs in seven innings against Timberline Wednesday night. From the circle she came away with 17 K’s against a good hitting team and threw three runners out at first. Vallivue’s bats finally came to life in the middle innings scoring nine runs. |
