“I knew she was going to be a very good softball player. I watched her before she ever got to high school, and I knew she'd be a good one.”
Dave Thompson
“I've been coaching Marissa in softball since she was about 7 or 8, and she's a very good ball player. I felt this would be a great opportunity to go to Europe and put a finishing touch on her youth career before she goes to college.”
Chuck Myers
“And I could see the relief on my own 16-year-old daughter's face. She's a softball player, and she will not have to conform to the stereotypical view of what a female should be, of the unattainable body type that has been promoted for decades.”
Richard Lapchick
“She works at it year around. She is a dedicated softball player, she lives and breathes it. Plus she has had tremendous support from her parents (Mike and Joanne).”
Jerry Hughes
“We're playing good softball. We just didn't get the hits when we needed it. We made one mistake defensively and it cost us but I'm not too disappointed. Port Charlotte is a good softball team.”
Larry Peterson
“From top to bottom, one through 12, our kids are very talented. We have 12 softball players, which is a nice feeling. A lot of them have played together on Perry's summer league (Northern Illinois Thunder) team.”
Dana Wagner
“Again we cannot stay focused. You watch these other teams and they are nothing but softball.”
