flag city was so big it was played in several towns all across georgia...from 89 thru about 2005, it class c and d started on thurs night for the local teams and started fri at about 7 friday night and depending on where u were, straight thru until sunday....in 95, they quit letting out of state in the flag city unless you played b or above...btw, did you have super B, super c, etc..in wis...I think that was a georgia made up deal....the softball country club was about hour and half from us, we played there in the big tourneys, couple times a year...they had the 3 levels of fields, upper, clubhouse in the middle, and then the lower set...I remember finishing on the lower fields late at night, and them telling us, they are waiting for you at the top, you were wore out by the time you climbed the hill...they tore down the scc in 99 and built apartments...softball has gradually declined in georgia since...
I remember that tourney in 93, and I remember that team from wis...we took 13th, and was a round away from playing yall when we lost out...this was our best fcs showing at that point in our softball life....our scheduled gametime friday night was 2am, and it was behind, of course, and we started about 4am, won that game and had to play at 11am against a team from orlando named bennigans and they kicked our arse.....we batttled back and played several sat night and a couple sunday morning before we lost out, we played 9 games that weekend...I mentioned this to my brother last night, he also remembers yall, we got beat out by a team called white knights, a very scraggly looking bunch, dont know how they kept winning, and they went on to take fifth...we watched a couple of rounds before we drove home...
small world....
we had a few battles with pops 10 back then, think they wore purple...one of the hated north ga teams lol.....
we played in the class b worlds in 2001 in minn and in 2002 in mich...only 2 times I flew to play...felt like a big shot with my buddys strolling thru the airport, batbag in one hand, clothes back in the other...
those were the days....
