WHAT HER COACH SAID

Being a coach’s kid is not easy. When you are successful, you’re the coach’s kid and naturally you will get accolades. When you come up short, you are the coach’s kid and you should have performed better. There’s no in between. It’s a difficult road to maneuver as “that” kid. Throughout it all, Mallory has handled it with calmness, class and integrity. She is the heart and soul of our team. She is our compass. Without her we would be lost. She is a great teammate, a competitor and the best daughter a father can have.
