“The Shockers” Girls 8U Travel Softball Team from Kinston, NC competed in the “20/20 NC USSS Hit & Run Greenville” tournament on Friday, July 17th.  The girls were promised they could shave the head of one their coaches, Jamie Jernigan if they won their first championship… which they did!  Coach Jernigan honored his promise and all of the girls got the opportunity to take part in the event.  Take a quick break to watch this fun video where Coach Jamie Jernigan gets “Shocked”.

Congratulations girls!
