Since NCTC I have graduated from UNT with a degree in Biology. I am currently a science teacher and a softball coach under my father at Grand Prairie High School. I have been married a little over a year and enjoy every minute of it. I am so blessed to be able to stay involved in softball and share my knowledge with others.

We made WAY too many great memories to list. I loved going down the "slide" downtown though :)! The most memorable sports moment would have to my first ever homerun!

oohhhh.... good ol' NCTC where do i even begin....

it rained once during a game when they finally called the game we had to tarp the field and we got to slide across the tarp as a team.... one of the most fun memories!!

When i dove for a ball Coach Hedirck always called it the"DYER PLOP" one afternoon when the field was really wet and had lost of mud spots he dared me to dive for it right into the mud.... so FUN but so DIRTY!!!

Hand shakes were always a good one!

The fact that the ONLY place i ever hit a home run was at Paris! Haha

my favorite playng moment was when we were playing Temple at home and it was the 2nd game of the double header. we had a runner at third and two outs. we needed to score that run to win the game and i hit a line drive over the third basemans head to win the game!!!

Cant forget when we were playing at Regionals in 2006 and a i took a hard ground ball to the EYE!!! OUCH!! 9 stiches later..... played the next day!!

On top of finishing my last year in softball, I am working on my bachelors degree in exercise and sport studies towards fitness management and will be graduating in May 2010. After graduating, I hope to find a softball coaching job at a junior college, and maybe university in the future.

I cannot even point out what my favorite or funniest story at NCTC would be because there were SO many. I do have to say in 2008 at the regional tournament when we warmed up at The Colony and then drove back to the complex to literally run up to the field right as the game was starting was pretty funny. The look on the parents face and Vernon was priceless. Most memorable sports moment at NCTC was when we won Conference Champions!!
