The Colorado 4th of July All-Star Showcase games are an
INVITE ONLY event. Players will start to be invited in May 2018 for these
games. Monday and Tuesday, June 25 and 26 at the Christopher Sports Complex in
Westminster, Colorado.
Each registered All-Star player will receive the following
as a participant: Working college coaches: interact during warm-ups, coach
showcase game (actively engaged with the players the entire time), provide
instruction, conduct exit talks, possible scholarship offer on site, etc.,
visibility to recruiting college coaches: over 300 college coaches come through
Christopher Complex throughout the week, recognition via the Web site and the
All-Star Showcase Program publication, and a t-shirt that is available to
All-Star participants only.
Elizabeth
Schaefer (2022 Pitcher and Oklahoma State Commit), Kaydee
Bennett (2022 Shortstop and Oklahoma State Commit), Karmyn
Bass (2022 Catcher) and Madison
McClarity (2022 First base) each received the honors for the Texas
Travelers. Players were nominated by
select softball coaches around the country and chosen by the Triple Crown
Softball Staff based on collegiate coaches’ recommendations and tournament
play.
The Texas Travelers Gold are a competitive team based out of
North Texas and will be playing in the Tulsa Elite Showcase, Junior Colorado
Sparkler, Kansas City World Fastpitch Tournament and the PGF National
Championships in Huntington Beach, California.
This year the Travelers have already claimed the championship in the
First Stage of the USA Softball ASA Texas Challenge Series outscoring opponents
93 to 15. They have built a strong
lineup of first year 14U players that are sure to be the talk of the softball
world.
Both Kaydee Bennett and Elizabeth Schaefer verbally
committed to Oklahoma State University before the rules for NCAA D1 early
committing changed. However, they surely
will not be the only players on the Travelers who will have an opportunity to
play in the Power Five Conferences. In
addition to Karmyn Bass and Madison McClarity; the Travelers have several other
players who could have easily been chosen to attend the All-Star Showcase
invite.
