From the Sideline

“Madi is a natural leader and excellent teammate,” Gator coach Michael David said. “She is a four-year varsity fastpitch player, as well as team captain. Madi works with younger players in a positive, mentoring way, has a great attitude, and ensures that everyone is involved. She is our starting center fielder and hits for power and location. In addition to being a four-year varsity player, Madi competed in four seasons of girls soccer and was on the girls bowling team during the winter season.”
