Favorite Sport: “Softball is my favorite. I am going to play softball in college at Edgewood College. I just love the game. It’s really intense. I love to practice softball and just love to be outside.”
 
Best Part of High School Sports: “I would say the best part is getting to play with your friends and competing. The whole town gets involved most of the time, so that is really fun. You also get to know people you compete against and that is a lot of fun as well.”
 
Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: “When we got to state in softball as a sophomore and junior. There is nothing better than being at state. It’s a whole different game at state. It’s a lot more intense.”
 
Best Advice Received from High School Coach: “All the coaches really stress team work. They also stress working for what you get. They also say that the most important thing is to enjoy what you are doing.”
 
Best Part of Playing Three Sports: “You constantly have a different season to look forward to. It also changes up your game. You are not playing just one sport all year. You are using different muscles and different techniques for each of the sports. I love to stay busy and involved and competing.”
 
Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: “I would say the toughest part is it’s kind of tough to keep up with everything with school. But it’s definitely worth it.”
