- Coach’s Quote: “Josie’s biggest asset is her consistency. As a pitcher,
her main job is to throw strikes. She faced some 700 batters last year and only walked 10. She
is also very consistent as a player and person. She is never too high or too low. You always
know you will get her best effort at all times.” -- Troy Styer, Softball Coach
