at the middle school there before retiring to Blacksburg. Their softball coach was my teaching partner for a few years. She works hard at it and has a lot of community support. She and her husband are big time Hokies! Another teaching partner's daughter (who is a Hokie) is playing Western Carolina this year. She was the winning pitcher in the state championship for them this past year and is now playing at Middle Tn State. Her dad is a Hokie as well. I taught her and they would have loved for her to have come here. The third pitcher from there signed with Radford in November and was the National Little League Home Run Derby Champ in 2021. Unless it's changed, she doesn't play for the high school. She plays with a travel team. I taught her mother. Would have loved to have had all 3. Great young ladies from wonderful families!
