The Magic of Rays Baseball #ForTampaBay | #Postseason

Not the weekend we prayed for, but we know that God is still good through it all. 🤍 Sometimes God uses the hardest moments to teach us lessons that the best moments never could. It’s easy to praise Him when things go our way, but our faith is tested when they don’t. This weekend may not have ended how we hoped, but our purpose is bigger than a scoreboard, and our identity is found in Christ, not in our performance. We trust that God is working even when we can’t see it, preparing us for things we may not understand yet. We will continue to work hard, grow together, and give Him the glory in every season. The wins are blessings, the losses are lessons, and through it all, God remains faithful. One weekend doesn’t define us, and one setback doesn’t change His plan. We may not understand the outcome, but we will always trust the One who holds our future. All glory to God, in the good times and the hard ones. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God.” — Romans 8:28 ✝️🥎

2 at bats in game 1 and 2 bombs. @ElzeyMatt @Jamie_Trachsel @CoachBBuchanan @CoachP_Softball

A little late posting, but Homecoming called for a little different attire! I don’t get out of cleats and a softball uniform much, so it was fun to trade them in for a dress and heels for the night!

So thankful for the opportunity to attend camp, learn from the coaches, compete, and continue growing as a player. Camps like this are such a great way to challenge yourself, meet new people, and learn what it takes to play at the next level. Thank you to the ASU coaching staff for a wonderful camp and for the time you invested in us! I’m leaving with new things to work on, more motivation, and an even bigger desire to keep chasing my goals. Thank you, ASU, for an amazing experience! @CoachP_Softball @coachangelbrown @BamaStateSB

Just because they sit at your table doesn’t mean they feed your spirit. Jesus does.

Southern Miss HC Blake Anderson walked out wearing a "Christ Is King" shirt. Love seeing players and coaches boldly living out their faith without fear of any backlash. May we continue to see more athletes use their platforms to honor and glorify Jesus Christ. ❤️✝️

When your a blocker and get to run a route… but there’s miscommunication on the field. Considering I’m usually the biggest girl on the field, then you take out your smaller team mate 🥴

It’s that time of year again! 💜💛🏈 A different color, a different team, but the same love and passion for the game. I’m ready for a new season, new teammates, new memories, and new challenges. I’m excited to put on the purple and gold and give this season everything I’ve got! 💜💛🏈🔥 #35

Dear 2028, September 1st came. The day you’ve been waiting for. The day you’ve worked toward for years. The day you thought your phone might finally ring, your notifications might light up, and all those early mornings, late nights, sore muscles, tears, failures, and sacrifices would suddenly feel worth it. But what happens when it doesn’t? What happens when your phone stays quiet? You keep going. Because a quiet phone does not mean you aren’t good enough. It doesn’t mean you aren’t talented. It doesn’t mean your dreams are too big. And it certainly doesn’t define the player—or the person—you are. Recruiting can make you question everything. You watch others get offers. You see announcements filling your feed. You wonder why they were chosen and you weren’t. You start comparing your journey to someone else’s highlight reel. Don’t. Your journey was never supposed to look like theirs. Maybe God is protecting you from the wrong place. Maybe He’s preparing you for the right one. Maybe your story just hasn’t reached that chapter yet. Softball has been a part of you for so long that sometimes it feels like it is you. But remember this: you are so much more than a recruiting ranking, an offer, a roster spot, or a coach’s decision. Softball has and always will be a part of who you are—but it does not determine your worth. So, Dear 2028, on September 1st, if your phone rings… celebrate. If it doesn’t… keep working. Keep showing up. Keep believing. Keep emailing. Keep competing. Keep becoming the player you know you can be. And when that call finally comes—whether it’s today, tomorrow, next month, or somewhere down the road—remember all the days your phone stayed silent. Because one day, you’ll realize those silent days weren’t rejection. They were preparation. Your story isn’t over. It’s just getting started. 🥎❤️

As September 1st, rolls around and the 2028s are finally able to be contacted by college coaches, I wanted to share my experience and remind everyone that it is OK if you don’t get anything today. On September 1st of my junior year, I was doing the same thing a lot of you probably are today. I was looking at my phone, waiting and hoping to get that call or text from a college coach. But I didn’t get one. And I definitely wasn’t the only one. It’s easy to look at a day like today and feel like you’ve already missed your chance to play college softball. I know that’s how I felt. But I’m here to say that is NOT the case. I didn’t start talking to schools until the summer before my senior year. Instead of letting not getting anything on September 1st bring me down, I used it as a reason to work harder and prove to myself that I could bounce back from a setback. I know it’s hard to watch other people get calls and texts while your phone stays quiet. But everyone’s recruiting process is different. Just because something doesn’t happen for you on September 1st doesn’t mean it won’t happen later. Keep working, keep improving, and stick with the goals you’ve set for yourself. You never know what opportunities are going to come your way if you keep putting in the work. I’m now a freshman at my dream school, which was actually the first school I ever emailed, and I couldn’t be happier. Looking back, my recruiting process taught me a lot and showed me that things don’t always happen on the timeline you expect them to. So I just wanted to share this as a reminder that no matter how today goes, keep pushing yourself to get better every day. Don’t compare your recruiting process to someone else’s. I promise there is a school out there for everyone.

🥎 FOR THE ATHLETE HOPING THE PHONE RINGS TOMORROW… Tomorrow is September 1st. And I know for some of you, it feels like everything you’ve worked for has been leading up to this day. But please remember this: Your worth as an athlete is NOT determined by who calls you tomorrow. If your phone rings — celebrate it. You’ve earned that moment. If it doesn’t — keep going. Your dream didn’t disappear overnight. Your talent didn’t suddenly change. And your opportunity to play college softball is NOT gone. Recruiting happens at different speeds for every athlete. Some doors will open tomorrow. Others will open weeks or months from now. And sometimes the door you’re waiting on isn’t nearly as incredible as the one you haven’t discovered yet. Keep working. Keep emailing. Keep getting better. Keep believing. Because September 1st isn’t the day your future is decided. It’s simply the beginning of the next chapter. 🥎 Your time will come. ❤️ — Coach Jennifer Turner
