Glens Falls 18U Titans Softball Travel To Saugerties: Endieveri & Stevens Attend Camp
This past weekend, the Glens Falls 18u Titans team traveled to Cantine Field in Saugerties, New York for the annual softball tournament, and the opportunity to participate in an Elite College Skills/College Exposure Camp! The Elite College Skills Camp gives players the opportunity to experience what a college level practice is like, receive instruction from college coaches, and even potentially get recruited.
This year, Gianna Endieveri and Kiesten Stevens attended the camp from Glens Falls. Stevens and Endieveri, as members of both Glens Falls Titans and the Glens Falls Varsity Softball team, have been playing together for years… Endieveri was named 2023 Section 2 All-Star, while Stevens earned second team honors.
Glens Falls has built a reputation for having quality softball programs both through their travel programs and school teams. The Glens Falls varsity softball team will be looking to continue the winning tradition in the spring when seniors Endieveri and Stevens take the field with fellow senior Jaelyn Graham; Graham earned first team honors last season, as she showed off her power at the plate and her impeccable defense.
The coaching staff of the Glens Falls Titans is made up of Head Coach Scott Richards, and coaches Jonelle Bacon and Scott Endieveri. Bacon believes that the Elite College Skills Camp is a good fit for players from the Titans: “This is a good clinic and tournament for us because these are teams and schools that our girls can play for and be competitive,” she said.
Coaches from area schools including The College of Saint Rose, Russell Sage, and a variety of SUNY schools are amongst those that participate in the camp and watch the tournament over the weekend. As the games began early on Saturday morning, college coaches went from field to field to watch the players throughout the day… Unfortunately, the games were called on Sunday due to the weather conditions.
The Glens Falls Titans were ranked as the seventh seed after their three games on Saturday, having lost their first two games and winning the third on Saturday. If games had been played on Sunday, the Titans would have had to win three games to make it to the championship game.
Both the Glens Falls varsity softball team and the Titans have players who play, or are planning to play, at the next level – 2022 Glens Falls graduate Avery Hill went on to play at SUNY Fredonia, 2023 graduate Lily Haggerty will be playing at SUNY Oswego, and Glens Falls graduate Emylou Richards will continue her softball career at SUNY Adirondack… And Titans player and Warrensburg graduate Kara Bacon will attend Le Moyne College, and play for the Dolphins.
