Said head coach Billy Knight. 'We have a lot of talent and experience with a group of girls who are ready to make a run at a state title.' Knight added. Finding the right combination is always a challenge at the 1A level. Girls will have to play positions they have never played and be willing to do whatever it takes to win softball games. If they are willing to do this we will be playing late in the season!

Personal Statement '2014 Little League Softball World Champions', I recall that moment so clearly as it was one of the most exciting moments I had on a softball field. I was part of a team that committed to play at the highest possible level. Our goal was to be the best and everyday for years leading up to that moment and still today I play softball because I love it and because I desire to be the best I possibly can. I have dreamed to play college softball since I was 8 years old. My biggest strength in softball is my power, I hit with power and I have a strong arm at 3rd base. My goals for the next four years of high school is to maintain a high GPA. Academics are very important to me.
I also want to become a stronger softball player both physicaly and mentally. I am always working to improve and I loved to be challenged. I am very competitive in everything thing I do, and I do not like to lose. I fit in very easily and have no problem making friends. I'm funny and have a good personality. Playing Little League and travel softball has given me the opportunity to travel and meet many people from all over the world. As of right now I am not sure of what I want to do in the future, but I am hoping that softball and other sports will always be a part of it.
