A big thanks goes to my managers/trainers who give their complete dedication to this team and coaching staff throughout the long season.  *Morgan Swoboda, Monica Reyna, Reagan New and Sara Berrett.  I also want to give a shout out to my Practice Squad kids: Morgan Whitley, Kristen Kieler and Brooke Dirba.  Big help in our preparations for the playoff season.
I want to give a thank you for all the support of our Journalism department and Mrs. Kubena for making the programs and trips to games.  Another thank you to Mrs. New for the support from Booster Club with the cooler of drinks on the long bus rides.
