THE BUZZ:  JILL HAS BEEN A SOLID AND VALUABLE STING PLAYER SINCE SHE WAS 10U.  SHE WAS INVITED TO PLAY AT THE 18U LEVEL AFTER HER SOPHOMORE YEAR AS OUR YOUNGEST PLAYER.  SHE IMMEDIATELY STEPPED UP AND EXCELLED, PLAYING WITH HER OLDER TEAMMATES.  JILL IS A CONTACT HITTER, WHO CAN ALSO HIT FOR POWER.  SHE HAS DYNAMIC SPEED ON THE BASE PATHS.  JILL IS OUR MOST VERSATILE 18U DEFENSIVE PLAYER.  SHE IS AN EXCELLENT CENTERFIELDER, WITH THE SPEED AND ABILITY TO TRACK DOWN BALLS ANYWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.  SHE IS ALSO SKILLED AT ALL INFIELD POSITIONS AND HAS A POWERFUL ARM WITH THE ABILITY TO THROW OUT RUNNERS FROM ANYWHERE ON THE FIELD.  JILL WILL BE AN ASSET TO ANY TEAM AT THE NEXT LEVEL.

SOFTBALL HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY MAIN MOTIVATION AND ALWAYS WILL BE.  I CONTINUE TO BETTER MYSELF EVERY DAY, IN SEASON AND OFF SEASON.  IT ISN’T JUST A GAME TO ME.  IT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE, EVER SINCE I WAS LITTLE.  SOFTBALL IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME, NOT JUST BY PLAYING, BUT ALSO CREATING BONDS WITH MY TEAMMATES.  IT WILL ALWAYS PUSH ME TO BE THE BEST ATHLETE I CAN BE, CONTINUOUSLY CHALLENGING ME TO WANT TO WORK HARD ALL YEAR ROUND.  I HAVE A STRONG DESIRE TO PLAY IN COLLEGE, BECAUSE I DON’T WANT ALL OF MY HARD WORK TO END AFTER HIGH SCHOOL – JILL BATICK
