After all districts in Texas have completed UIL play through the State playoffs, a committee is chosen to take a look back at the accomplishments of every player that had a standout performance during their season.  All Area Honors are given for First Team, Second Team and Honorable Mention.  Two Dallas Tigers players, Natalie Huse and Becca Needler received All Area Honorable Mention honors for their standout performances this year for Flower Mound High School and Keller Central High School respectively.  Both players are part of the Senior Class of 2010 and will be going on to play collegiate softball, Huse at NCTC and Needler at the University of Dallas.  Heather Foust received 2nd Team All Area Honors for the second year in a row as a pitcher for Flower Mound Marcus High School.  Joining Needler as part of the Senior Class of 2010, Foust will also be attending the University of Dallas to play collegiate softball.

The world knows that on January 12, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti leaving a wake of devastation killing more than 200,000.  Already a country living in extreme poverty, the massive earthquake caused incalculable loss of life and destruction to the homes and live hood of millions of people.  A Dallas Tiger 14 U Player ~ Chandler Hoagland heard the call to action, joining in the recovery efforts mobilizing around the world to assist earthquake victims.   Chandler set out on a mission to be a difference collecting “Survival Kits“.  Chandler collected over 100 kits containing a variety of personal items for use by the Haitian people. Chandler and the Dallas Tigers Softball Organization have the power of many and understand that there is no promise of tomorrow, embracing that it is important to be a difference maker today.

“When a group rallies and provides this type of support, it provides a tangible experience that will benefit many people forced to endure the unspeakable torment every single day.  The survival kits are on their way to our friends in Haiti who are struggling to rebuild their shattered country,” stated Nesa Grider.
