College Fall Ball

LBlues

Glad Kim and Niki did well, they are former Lady Blues and are great team oriented kids. Kim played a position she had never played for me this past summer and was outstanding. She should have a good college career. Niki is just a great young lady with the best attitude I have ever coached. Great job girls.
