WUSA Night with the Lady Cougars!
WUSA players and families were treated to a special evening--West University Softball Night--when the University of Houston Lady Cougars hosted the Texas Southern University Lady Tigers on April 24th. WUSA players, donning their favorite league jerseys, cheered on the home team as the Cougars outscored the Tigers 12-4. Jennifer Klinkert and Melissa Gregson each hit home runs to help U of H claim the victory.
Following the game, each WUSA player received a Cougar team photo and got the chance to meet the Lady Cougars and collect autographs. It was truly a memorable experience!
Thank you to our Special Events Sponsor Texas Citizens Bank for making this event possible!

Shade Has Arrived at South Campus!
The new SHADE STRUCTURES at our South Campus fields are now in place and ready for our games this week!! These structures are adjacent to four of the six dugout areas and will cover our soon-to-be-installed NEW BLEACHERS.
You may ask, how is the league accomplishing all of the capital improvements that you see at our facilities? JOIN THE WUSA CAPITAL CAMPAIGN. WUSA is currently taking donations that are earmarked for capital improvements, like our new concessions and restrooms facility and shade structures. A donor wall is being erected on the front face of the concessions building to recognize those who make significant contributions of $1,000 or more. AND THERE IS STILL MUCH TO DO. In fact, we will have some major announcements about exciting future plans in the next few months! Help make the facilities at all of our campuses the very, very best for your daughter and for generations of WUSA players to come.

Two More WUSA Players Join College Ranks!
WUSA is so proud of two former WUSA players, Danielle Allen and Kacey Cramer, who are now all grown up and headed off to college to play softball! Dani, who is a senior pitcher and outfielder at Lamar High School, has signed with Sam Houston State. Kacey, who plays third base and pitches for Episcopal High School, has committed to play at Williams College.
Dani started playing in WUSA at age 6 on Coach Chip Johnson's Comets squad after moving to the area from California. Kacey's softball career began on Coach Steve Howard's Shamrocks team (after a couple of wayward years in West U Little League). In addition to their spring teams, both Dani and Kacey played on many WUSA summer tournament teams, including the Tigers, Xtreme, and the Wave!
Dani and Kacey would like to thank their coaches for all their help over the years, including WUSA greats Fred Dupre, Don Beckham, Joe Franz, Bob Cannon, Vance Tillman, and Richard Legler, just to name a few. Ladies, we will be rooting for you at the next level! Way to go!

WUSA's Strike Out Childhood Cancer Day
September 25 was WUSA's Strike Out Childhood Cancer Day at the WUSA fields at South Campus. Every Fall Ball team was in action, and the concessions stand was in midseason form.
In recognition of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September, the dugouts were decorated with gold and orange ribbons and bows, and our WUSA volunteer vendors were busy all day selling cool gold and orange socks, bracelets, and wristbands. All proceeds from concessions and vendor sales for the day were donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Make-a-Wish Foundation. These two great charities were chosen by the families of our two WUSA honorees for the day, Catherine (age 7) and Lauren (age 14), who have each demonstrated hard work, determination, and great attitudes both in their treatments and on the softball fields.
Our league was so fortunate to have Catherine and Lauren each throw three ceremonial first pitches during the on-the-field ceremony in front of a packed house prior to the 5:00 PM games. With longtime WUSA umpire-in-chief Ramon Blanco behind the plate, two emphatic strikeouts were ensured. Following the pitches, Ray presented Catherine and Lauren with prized mementos from his umpiring career---game balls from the championship game of the 2006 Triple Crown Colorado Sparkler Tournament. Each girl also received a jumbo softball autographed by all of our WUSA players!
What a fantastic day of fun and fundraising at the ballpark! The league thanks all of the players, parents, and volunteers who made our first full day of Fall Ball action so memorable!
