My little DD from a little town in softball-little WI has accomplished her athletic dream => Play for an SEC team!
Bio for Maddie Boyd | UK Wildcats | Softball
Welcome to the Varsity!!! To bad UK and SC will not play each other this season. Was looking forward to a trip to Lexington.
Wow....RB- you should give a little backstory on her journey so that those that have not been around to see her path know what a fantastic chapter this is to her story.
Between your kid and RBs there is a definite lesson about how the path isn't always so straight to your kid getting what she wants but with perseverance anything is possible.
Congrats to her and you.
The Cliff Notes version:
DD's story is completely non-traditional:
Early high-school emerging star
Sophomore in HS gets full mid-D1 scholarship
Junior year stress fracture in back out all year
Senior year struggled to get back to form - "quit" for 3 months.
Freshman at mid-D1 was told by new HC that she was not a D1 pitcher/player and bench-rode her.
Sophomore year was picked up by good JUCO and ended the year fantastic.
Walked-on to Kentucky with an attitude of make-or-quit. Kentucky didn't know her at all.
Moral of the story - it aint over til it's over
