Note from Coach Prong
Being able to coach “Fletch” for the past four years has been nothing short of entertaining.

When I think of coaching Taylor, I think of the words Mr. Hayes said to me before I married Mrs. Prong: “when she’s around, life is never dull.” From “awkward Taylor”, her refusal to dance after losing a bet, taking a ball to the head to help her team win, to jumping in a freezing cold creek for our viral video and my personal favorite “guys I’m crying on the inside.” All of those things brought laughter and a smile to her coaches and teammates' faces. But I’ve seen Taylor grow from that shy freshman into a confident and compassionate Senior, who really cares about those around her.

On the field, Taylor continued to improve and had become a dangerous threat on the base paths that other teams had trouble stopping. I am sad to see Taylor leave this program, but I can honestly say that she left it in a better place than she found it.
