“Jocelyn is the best player in the state. We couldn’t get her out. Offensively, she controls the plate. Pitchers have to be so careful that they usually make a mistake. Defensively, she made you change your offensive plan because of her skills as a catcher.”

Rich Hamilton

Head Coach - head coach of Red Mountain High
