The Turnboughs’ Summer Softball Team

By Charles Turnbough
Special to The Truth

We have a fun, family-oriented softball team. My wife, Renee Turnbough, daughter Victoria Turnbough and my son's best friend Niko Pompilli all play on the team, also that's our youngest daughter Nadia Turnbough holding the plaque. This year we placed second overall.
 

I would like to see other families playing in the league. We all have a lot of fun but we're also very competitive. We’ve gone from the opposing teams taking us lightly and laughing before the games to their getting there early and warming up to play for what they know is going to be a competitive game.

Our team also received the 2014 sportsmanship team of the year award. We play in the Maumee Rec. League, and we have had nothing but a great reception at the league. This is our third year, the commissioner, Jack Mattimore, would like to see more teams sign up. 

The message I would like to relay is that this is an opportunity for the family to get together in a group activity and have fun, we all look forward to each game. I push everyone on the team to give it 110 percent when we're playing.

We all know we have seven months of cold weather until we play again in May 2016. Hopefully we can encourage some other people to create a team and come out and play.
