Proudest Wellsville High School softball moment/s:
It would be hard to choose just one moment as my time on the diamond was filled with so many wonderful memories and achievements. I was very proud to be selected 1st team, All-State as a shortstop my sophomore year and winning our Sectional titles in '96, '97 and '98 is definitely high on the list. I am also honored to have been part of "The Streak" team.
What Wellsville Softball means to me:
"My heart is full of memories from the softball diamond and spring training trips down south. Those days were the best days of my young adult life. With Jen (Richardson) and Jamie (Hall) on either side of me, it was hard to get a ball through the infield. We were a well-oiled machine and knew each other's next step. Our team was more than just a bunch of girls playing softball. We were family. I still stay in touch and am close with many of my Lady Lion teammates. Without Wellsville Softball I may not have had the opportunity to form those relationships and for that I am forever grateful. Being a player under the guidance of Mr. Cady was a privilege that only the Wellsville Lady Lions had and I consider myself lucky to have gone through the program with him at the helm. He not only taught us the game and how to have fun, but to have pride and be humble in victory, and even more so in defeat. We held ourselves to a higher standard being on that team. The future is bright for Wellsville softball and I am proud to be a Lady Lion alumna. I look forward to watching the success of future generations."
In her words:
"Being part of such a successful program lead by legendary coach Frank Cady and numerous titles and awards is a true honor. Wellsville Softball is not just a team of girls competing to be the best around, it's a way of life and a family. When I was on the field there was no place I'd rather be and no one I'd rather be with than my teammates."
