“Unquestionably the fastest player I have ever coached. I think everyone in the country knows that when Dee gets on base, she will score. Her biggest asset is the pressure she exerts on the defense by merely walking up to the plate. She needs to have an All-American year for the Tigers to reach their goals.”
