    Yes

    We will post the top five in each event and provide each participate with their scores. There were some extremely talented young ladies performing and ten colleges and 13 coaches watching. We saw some great speed, 5.13 forty by two girls Jazz Robbins and Haley Hazeldon (freshman). Katie Zavodny hit the top bar on explosive jump and scored a run in the scrimmage, and Kailey Farmer (sophmore) hit 65 with overhand throw from right field to third! Fastest pitcher hit 61, pop times etc to follow. Ashley Bone hit the center of the scoreboard with a towering homerun and followed up with a line shot over left field fence! More names and results to follow in the next few days.
    Thanks to all the parents, coaches, vendors, and most of all players for a great day. We have some tweaking to do and will make those changes to improve.
    Already planning for Raleigh event in November! The girls that attended had the full attention of these 10 schools from 9am till 3:30! How could you ever get more exposure?
    For the colleges and universities that attended, thank you for honoring us with your presence, for those that could not be there you missed an opportunity to see some talented young ladies that could help your program in future.:excl:

    Special thanks to Charlie Dobbins for his assistance along with RAQ, Moni, Greg and many others!

    Just wanted to say a public thanks to Rodney Threatt and his Lady Blues organization for putting on an outstanding scouting combine event. My DD attended this event, and she told me that she enjoyed it a lot. I thought the RAQ measurments as well as the softball drills and scrimmage really gave the college coaches an opportunity to guage the talent level of the girls that were in attendance. The college coaches came early, and stayed late. If they didn't like what they were seeing, I'm sure some would have left early.

    Looking forward to the next Lady Blues/RAQ Combine, which I heard will be sometime this fall.

    I'd like to see the results of top 5 or 10 in each category. I know we do most of these tests and I'd like to see how my players measure up against some of the best. I love these tests because they measure explosive power.

    Some great performances! Don't miss the fall event.:doh:

    Saw Joe's post after I had sent the above. Here are top three in every bracket, that is what we will provide. Sure wish more players could have experienced this event. Ten local schools were there to give all players their chance on stage and to show their individual skills and there was no doubt the coaches saw each and every player perform. Each College Coach walked away from the Combine with Profiles, reference letters, and scores for each participate and each participate was provided their scores to share with their HS, travel and potential college coaches.
