Thank You- I would like to thank my mom and dad for everything they have done to support my high school career in academics and sports, they do so much for me and I have no idea what I would do without them. I also would like to thank all of my softball coaches, Coach Hejnal, Don Lockhart, Mark Armstrong, Smite, and anyone who has impacted my years of playing softball. I will for sure miss this sport and everyone that I have played with. Great friendships were made and I know that I will always have those memories with me.
