Gold finalists

The Spring Branch Memorial Sports Association 8U softball team the Typhoon played their hearts out during a long, hot Saturday as the last day of their season – finishing out as Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association Gold Bracket Finalists. The girls were coached by head coach Chris Grizzaffi, Travis Gault, and a few other volunteer coaches who helped throughout the season. Midway through the season, the team got to try out kid pitch (instead of their regular coach pitch) during the first inning. The players included Annabelle Davis, Brooke Russell, Cassidy Grizzaffi, Colette Marchesani, Elizabeth Guidera, Emma Kaminsky, Hadley Gault, Iris Thomas, Julia Aly, Katherine Urech, Lila McQueen, Mila Stevens, and Molly Squillante.
