During that time we won four straight Districts, three Regionals, one State Runner-Up and back to back State Championships in ’97 and ’98. Jill epitomized dedication, determination, hard work and grit - - making the most of her skills! She was the perfect example of come early in a clean uniform, leave late in a dirty one! An arm injury in her senior year did not stop her……. That year, she never threw the ball in practice, in warm-ups or in pre-game drills. She only threw the ball when it was hit to her in a game! We added a bucket ball drill just for Jill…. Hit her buckets full of ground balls which she fielded and then just put in the bucket! Even through this painful and challenging year, Jill was our unquestioned leader! She filled all of our mailboxes with motivational signs and pictures, encouraged everyone and set an example of toughness playing through a very painful injury. And, by the way, Jill was the “student athlete poster child”, being Valedictorian of her class while playing softball at its highest level! She earned a scholarship to play softball at Western Michigan University. Jill is a great teacher….. and she has coached with us a couple times throughout her career. I’m so proud and fortunate to have been her high school coach!” Basketball Coach Jim Maier had this to say about Jill, “Jill McNabnay gave 100% every practice and every game.
