14 Firecrackers Rico/Weil Players
Recognized as Extra Elite 100 Players
A special note of sincere thanks to Brentt Eads and the staff of Extra Innings Softball for recognizing 14 players from the Firecrackers Rico/Weil team as being ranked as Extra Elite 100 players for their respective positions and graduating year. Recognition and rankings by respected publications that contribute so much to our sport mean a lot to our players and are especially meaningful for our Seniors as they prepare to play at the collegiate level. Players seeking to compete at the highest level are committed to growth and improvements beyond the dirt: in the weight room, on the track, in the batting cages, in the yoga studio, with their diet, and with their mental preparation. We are so proud of our girls and their families for this recognition and want to celebrate all those who were awarded this honor.
