I've been going out there to their games for quite some time and she ranks as high as any of the past Bama players in my book. I hope she will win this honor because she is a very classy person on and off the field.
When you are invited by CNS to speak at one of his functions, that says it all. Roll Tide!! #+ Title: Re: Reilly-Boccia Named a Finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award Post by: pmull on April 05, 2012, 08:56:26 AM It's just a pleasure to watch this young lady play softball.

Roll Tide!! #+ I am a fan of Boccia too. She has a good attitute and the players look up to her. She hits for avg, hits for power and has a very good on base % due to her many walks. She also fields her position. Her list of accomplishments and community work are very impressive. She always seems to be smiling and I like that too. I think she is very deserving of this award and I hope she wins it.
