Man...where do I even start now that our season has officially ended? Wow... coaching this team has been an absolute privilege. The witty humor alone was enough to make one's day. The power of this team was incredible! 41 homeruns & 21 triples overall! Batted our order the majority of the season using both of my EP allowables. If a team can hit through and through, let them hit! We also made it through with 1 pitcher on our roster, and Marni was an absolute machine on the mound. I am grateful to those pitchers who subbed to help her out this season! Thank you! Proud of our defense! Top notch! Held the best of the best to minimal runs, even rotating girls in positions often. Those not normally outfielders played outfield when we needed it! Also, thank you!

I couldn't be prouder to have coached this team. Each and every one of them found their shine and validated their value. I am excited for the futures of every player and look forward to following those moving on to their collegiate careers!! Good luck to you all ladies!! It's been a true pleasure! Always here when needed! ❤️

I am so blessed to announce my verbal commitment to continue my athletic & academic career at St. Kate’s University! I want to thank all my coaches who got me to where I am today. I want to specifically thank my hitting coach Sam Macken who pushed me to become the best version of myself. Also thank you to @SZS_MN for pushing me towards my goals in the weight room & teaching me to fail confidently. Next, I want to thank my teammates who pushed me mentally and physically on the field. Most importantly, I want to thank my parents for all the time & money they spent to get me to my dream, to play at the collegiate level. Finally, thank you Coach Powers & Coach Frost for giving me this opportunity to represent St. Kates! Go Wildcats! 💜 @coachpow10
