Our Gold team has some big announcements... are you ready?

The Conklin Raiders 12U Phillips team is stealing diamonds! They have won back-to-back tournament championships. First, they battled at Get Your Pink On in support of those that battle breast cancer awareness. Most recently, and pictured here, is their win at Frozen Ropes Fright Fest. They were the 6 seed and came all the way back to take it all. Cold weather can’t stop these fierce Raiders. Way to go players and coaches! We can’t wait to see what you do in the spring! 

Our very own Elena Shelepak has received the distinction of A10 All Decade Honorable Mention from George Washington Softball. She finished her career with a .309 BA, 161 hits, 19HR, and 116 RBIs. She earned All Conference Honors in 2018. Overall, she helped lead the resurgence of GW Softball. We have known all along just how amazing Eleana is. Beyond being an outstanding player, she is also a wonderful coach and role model. 

Michaela Transue, or MT as we call her, played MI for the Conklin Raiders from 2009 - 2014. She then went on to play MI for the Hall of Fame Head Coach Bill Edwards at Hofstra University. After her 4-year career there with the Pride, MT graduated from Hofstra in 2018, and followed her head coach, Larissa Anderson, to Mizzou, where she initially served as a graduate assistant before being promoted to the volunteer assistant's role for the 2020 campaign.  Her volunteer assistant coaching duties at Missouri include working with the Tiger's infield/ outfield as well as assisting with hitting.

This Summer, Transue was also brought on to lead the Myakka City RiverMocs. And, lead she did! In fact, she led them to the leagues' first ever Championship along with coach of the year! Additionally, she coached the player of the year. 

Michaela is a home-grown player and coach, hailing from Chenango Forks, New York. We couldn't be more proud of her and we can't wait to see what she will accomplish next.

Coach Transue is a Forever Raider and proof that there can be softball after college!

Go MT!
