"Best coaches that cared about players. Brought Batting averages up and GPA’s. Prior coaches recruits complained all the time because they didn’t earn time on the field. "

"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. "

"For reference Davenport softball had 2 teams and they dissolved one team so yes naturally with dissolving an entire team a lot of people would be gone. Kathryn Bzdafka is a great coach and I wouldn’t want my daughter to play for anyone else. "

"Kind of baffling how such a cruel, mean, bad, abusive coach would have 2 alumni working on staff with her. Makes you scratch your head about this entire situation. Kathryn Bzdafka is and has always been a great coach, who is compassionate, caring and gives almost too much grace. SHE IS TOO NICE."

"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."

"They have dedicated their lives to helping players become better- as people and players. If you claim to love the game but go to practice and don’t work hard and are uncoachable what do you expect to happen. I’ve known Jackie for 20 plus years - she was a phenomenal player. I watched her journey and actual struggle of being a victim of something truly horrific. I also watched her comeback from a torn labrum, being in pain every day and again be a phenomenal player. So many people don’t know her story and what makes her who she is. Davenport are lucky to have them. "
