Highschool Continued

 Highschool Continued


During my back injury I was not sure if I was going to get to finish my high school seasons. Even though I was feeling so much better after seeing that doctor for a few months I was just super scared to reinflame it or injure it again. After lots of convincing from my coach I decided why not give it a try. As soon as it started hurting again I was going to stop playing immediately because I can not go through that ever again. I felt great getting back into it. My back felt great and I was ready to play again. 


My junior year was a full season with no covid constrictions. We got first in league going 14-1. We almost went to state but came up just short in sections loosing the semi-final game. We were a very good team our seniors just were not in it anymore. We came out dead and never really got going. Us juniors going into our senior year took that fight with us though. We wanted it next year. 
My senior season was unforgettable. With three starting freshman got first in league again going 13-2. We won the section championship as well, to advance to state. We were on a roll. We only got to play in one state game because we lost 3-2 in a very close game. We were up 2-0 the whole game until the last inning when a few errors were made, they started a rally then, came back and won. It was the end to a big milestone in my life. All six of us seniors had been playing together since we were nine years old. My high school coach was also our coach since we were all playing together. Coach Willie and I have gone to state twice together now. I got softball player of the year and he got coach of the year for Northern California.

Cottonwood Little League

 The next big chapter to my softball journey was when I moved to Cottonwood, CA I joined the Cottonwood Little League team. That is when I met the girls that I continued playing with until I graduated high school. My C oach, Willie Church coached me all the way from 9u little league to my senior year of high school.  This team was a small group of girls with big hearts out of the small town of Cottonwood.  It took two tryouts just to have enough girls to make a team. The first tryout only 6 girls showed up. So we obviously had to have a second one where 4 more came out. So now we have a team!    We played some mean softball .   In 2016, We won tournament of champions. We then won the district championship which advanced us to state.  We won  the District 1 Championship tournament undefeated advancing us to the California Northstate Regional 8-10 year old tournament July 2/3.  That weekend we sustained just one loss and advanced to the  Championship  Playoffs July 9/10.

My Softball Journey

  My Softball Journey Hi, my name is Cabria Childers. This blog is going to tell you about my softball journey. I have played for quit a few teams between Chico, Ca and Redding, Ca. Each blog will be about a different chapter of my softball life. I started playing softball when I was four years old. My life has always been revolved around it. I have played on so many different teams, met so many people, and created some of the most amazing memories. The first travel ball team where I made some of my close friends to this day was called "Flex Fastpitch". I was eight years old when I joined this team and played with them for years. We won almost every tournament we were placed in. We also were in the  Newspaper .  Anthony  was our head coach and man was he an amazing guy. Practices weren't always sweet and dandy but he always stayed positive and kept pushing us.  I then moved to another team but ended up reconnecting with a few of these girls and played on other teams with

Back Injury

  Back Injury Some people only play softball in the Spring but, I play pretty much year round. So as soon as one season was over my next team started. During my freshman year of high school I started developing this strange back pain in my lower back. I kept going to the doctor and all they would say to do is ice and take ibuprofen. I continued to play through the pain except it continued to get worse and worse. The pain would get worse the more activity I was doing and just never get better. During the summer of my sophomore year in high school I was guest playing for a team in a PGF tournament because they needed a pitcher. It was a 4 day tournament but I couldn't make it past the second day. I was barely able to walk after the two games on the first day. Then when I woke up that next morning I could not get myself up. My parents had to get me up and help me out the door. In the middle of the game that day, by dad had them pull me because I was barely able to throw. We drove eigh
