TC RECRUITING

Fastpitch softball tournaments can be like reunions. Former teammates and competitors, past coaches and instructors, and just prior fastpitch acquaintances, can all suddenly appear at a game or pass by on their way to another game.

Wesley Wolverine Head Coach Juli Greep has certainly bumped into her share of present and past ties at the TC (Triple Crown) World Series, being played now through Saturday, July 19, in San Diego, CA. Coach Greep is one of 37 coaches from across the nation who
is teaching and coaching at the event as well as actively recruiting prospects for Wesley softball back home.

► Whitney!

The first familiar face to cross Coach Greep's path was our own Wesley Wolverine sophomore C/3B Whitney Dibb!

Actually, that's really no surprise, because Whitney lives nearby in La Mesa, California. She was recruited by Coach Greep at Nevada's 2012 TC Las Vegas Sparkler tournament, when Whitney was entering her senior year of high school.

Whitney is the lone Wolverine softball player from west of the Mississippi. Now that might change as these two spread the word of Wesley's small school educational and athletic opportunities back east. 

Head Coach Tony Segovia

► Tony Segovia

Next, “I ran into my assistant coach from college,” said Coach Greep of Tony Segovia, Head Coach of the Friends University Falcons (Wichita, Kansas). She noted: “I believe he's won a minimum of 7 titles” since his coaching days at -- and her undergraduate player days hurling from the circle for -- the McPherson College Bulldogs (McPherson, Kansas).

► Hose Bell

“Also I coached the tournament's All Star Game with Hose Bell, who formerly coached against me when I played at McPherson,” Coach Greep said. Coach Bell now heads up the Langston University Lions (Langston, Oklahoma) softball team.

“He heavily recruited me me out of high school,” Coach Greep said about Coach Bell, who, at the time, represented a college team “only a few miles from my parents house,” she said. Instead of playing so close to home “I made the 45 mile trek up to McPherson College,” she added.

Coach Greep is enjoying success out west, meeting up with old friends, recruiting new talent, and coaching all-star players. “We won our game today 8-3!” she said.
