Tom Izzo on how starters and playing time works with the Spartans

Finished up my school ball season close to 2 weeks ago in Columbus. Now back to travel ball and it was so great to be back with @FPXHutchins in Scenic City!! Here’s a double from that weekend:

This week, our #TuesdayTeamOfTheWeek is the varsity #MPCSoftball team. This season, your Lady Eagles were region runner-ups and made it to the #Elite8 of the #GHSA #StatePlayoffs. Let's go Lady Eagles! #RelentlessEffort

ELITE 8 in Columbus kicks off tomorrow!! In the first game, we play against Trinity Christian at 5 on field 8. Let’s go eagles!!! Come watch!

The middle school #MPCSoftball team also had a banner season this year with a 20-1 record. The girls took their stellar pitching and hitting performances all the way to the championship! Great work the #MPCWAY. #Champions

Congratulations to our varsity #MPCSoftball team on their two wins in the 2nd round of #StatePlayoffs. The Lady Eagles swept the series with two back-to-back run rule wins defeating St. Francis 18-8 and 12-4.  The team had 7 home runs and 31 hits in the series. S. Suttles finished strong as she led the offense with 3 home runs, 7 runs and 7 RBIs. L. Norton also had a huge night contributing 3 home runs, 4 runs and 7 RBIs. K. Driggers contributed a home run, 4 runs and 2 RBIs. S. Brown, M. Carroll, R. Collins, C. Lussier, and A. Crowe contributed multiple runs in the series as well. C. Lussier took both wins on the mound with strong pitching support from M. Carroll. The pitching duo combined to strike out 11 and keep a strong St. Francis team at bay. S. Suttles, R. Collins, S. Brown, L. Norton and M. Pendley provided outstanding defense to bring home the wins. Way to go Lady Eagles! #CommitmentToExcellence
