It's just a pleasure to watch this young lady play softball. 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!!

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.

I just voted.  She is currently in the lead by about 3%.  Her and another girl are way out in front of the rest of the field right now.
