Title: Special Interview with Alabama’s Cassie Reilly-Boccia
Post by: pmull on July 03, 2012, 11:19:28 AM
This is a good interview with one of my favorite Bama softball players Cassie Reilly-Boccia. If you are a Bama Softball fan it is worth reading.

Fastpitch Power recently spent time with Cassie Reilly-Boccia, the all-star first baseman for the College World Series Champions, the Alabama Crimson Tide. If you follow college softball at all, you know that Alabama had an incredible year. Their College World Series win was the first ever national championship for the Alabama program and for an SEC (South Eastern Conference) school. ‘Bama ended the season with a 60-8 record and took top honors in all national polls including USA Today/NFCA and ESPN/USA Softball Collegiate. Cassie helped power ‘Bama to the top with a .331 batting average, 48 RBIs and 9 home runs. She hails from Yorktown Heights, NY and upon returning home from her last softball activity with Alabama (instructing at their softball camps) she spent time with us discussing how it all began, how she got to Alabama, how it feels to win the College World Series and what she’s learned from it all.

Thanks Lee.

When we finally made it back to campus we had a team meeting. It was the first time we met as a team after the final win. We were too busy celebrating to meet before then. None of us had had any sleep but we were all so happy and emotional. The most beautiful quote and sentiment from that meeting came from my teammate Jazlyn Lunceford. Jaz is from the Alabama area and it was her dream from a very young age to play for the Alabama softball team. She told Coach Murphy, “You have the coolest job because you get to make other people’s dreams come true.” Coach Murphy responded, “ No, you’ve all made my dream come true.”

What a great interview. Cassie will be greatly missed by the team next year but us fans will miss her as well. I wish her all of the best that is possible in her future life because she deserves every bit of it. She is nothing but class on and off the field and this is something that is lacking in todays college sports by so many of the athletes.  #+
