“When I think of trying to game-plan and coach against St. Thomas More and Haleigh, it just didn’t seem like there was any one area that you could try to exploit. I’ve come across other really talented ballplayers and there’s a way you might have a modicum of success trying to contain them. With Haleigh, it’s death by 1,000 cuts. She’s so well rounded and talented in all aspects of the game.”
