COACH’S COMMENTS
“…Senior night is always a bittersweet night for me. The hard part is you see all the hard work, time and effort put in by these kids and you realize that their high school softball is coming to a end. The sweet part is that as a coach, you know all the things that makes it bitter makes it sweet! These kids learn that hard work pays off and that will give them a great start in life. Brittany, Ciana, and Keyerah have shown these very qualities and I’m very thankful to God that he blessed me to be a part of their lives. I’m better because of these three!!”
