She has excellent skills both offensively and defensively.  As a sophomore, she led our varsity team batting over .400, while totaling 3 home runs and 35 hits in 27 games.   Defensively, she can play several positions well. She primarily caught for us this past season, but can play both corner infield positions at a high level. Casey also has played outfield for her club team. She is always looking for ways to improve herself as a player. She has high expectations and goals for herself. Casey is very motivated to become the best player she can be. She has a passion for the game that many players cannot match. Casey is a wonderful young lady to be around and is a leader on and off the field. Many young players in our program and club look up to Casey, and she will be a great addition to any college program who will gain a talented and amazing person. — Scott Graf, Kettle Moraine H.S.
