"Hilarious the uneducated morons that post. The softball program used the baseball field on multiple occasions with Amber, Kathryn and Brad. Maybe do your research before positing something negative. It’s my understanding Amber and Kathryn held student athletes to higher standards compared to the baseball program. Tough deal. Multiple alumni can confirm. "

"Imagine getting jv and not wanting it because honestly it’s mean. The nicest coach and person I’ve ever met, leaning on the assistant AD is the worst mistake this actual nice coach could have made. All the blame gets put on the head coach for decisions the administration was making. Hilarious jv players and players that have had problems don’t/didnt put together that this rule following coach didn’t go rogue on anything. Honestly being a part of this team and knowing this information it hurts my heart this was done to someone who does nothing but care and support everyone. "

"Kathryn Bzdafka is an incredible leader whose ability to connect with people sets her apart. She is not only a great people person but also deeply caring, always taking the time to ensure her athletes feel supported and valued. Her guidance goes beyond just skill development—she invests in us as individuals, pushing us to grow both on and off the field. One thing she’s taught me is that you get what you put in, and like anything worth having, success grows when you water it. Her belief in the power of effort and perseverance inspires me every day to give my best."
