Lady Waves Come up Short in Patriot Classic

By Brian Hamilton, Sports Correspondent

Last Saturday, Gordo competed in American Christian Academy’s Patriot Classic at Rhoads Field, home of the Alabama Crimson Tide. ACA has been hosting the tournament for four years and this year was the Lady Waves’ first time to compete.

“It was just a great experience, especially for the girls,” Gordo head coach Greg Kosloff said. “It’s never been about me with this team. It’s always been about the girls, and for them to have the opportunity to play in one of the best facilities in the entire country was a very special day for them.”

The Lady Waves opened play Saturday morning at 8:30am, as they took on Montevallo. Gordo then faced Guntersville in the afternoon game, followed by a night game against Bibb County. The Lady Waves lost all three games, but head coach Greg Kosloff thought that his team really benefitted from the experience.

We played extremely well two of the three games, but I tell the girls to believe in the process and that its going to pay off - and it will,” Kosloff said. “To get better you’ve got to play better (teams).”
