The coaches (at Southern Wesleyan) impacted me but I went because of the atmosphere at the college.

It just felt like that’s where I needed to be and where I wanted to go

Maddie Crouch

It’s been a pleasure to help coach her for the last three years, looking forward to her senior year together

She’s just a phenomenal young lady, a competitor on and off the field

When’s it’s go time, you want the at bat to come down to her or the ground ball to be hit to her

She will play the game the way it’s supposed to be played
