Baleigh Bussell commits to McNeese State

[Slam14]

 Congratulations Baleigh!
 Longtime Orange Crush and current LA Express player Baleigh Bussell of Starks, LA made a verbal commitment to McNeese State yesterday.  Baleigh's commitment to excellence, her huge heart, and desire to be the best paved the way for this acheivement.  Whoever coined the phrase "dynamite comes in small packages" certainly described this young lady perfectly.  This kid knows nothing but wide open 100% of the time.  Baleigh is an amazing all-around athlete who could probably find a spot on a college roster in other sports as well, but has chosen to accept the offer from McNeese to play softball.  
 Baleigh has acheived much success on the softball field in the select arena as well as LA high school ball.  Baleigh was selected to the LA high school All-State team on more than one occasion and was a key member of Starks 2006 Class C State Championship in which she delivered the game winning hit driving in her sister in the championship game as an 8th grader!  Doesn't get much better than that.
 Even as great of an athlete as this young lady is, she is even a greater young lady.  I was truly privelaged to have been able to coach and be around this young lady and her family for 3 years.  Thanks for the memories and I hope you create many more at McNeese.

Congratulations to Baleigh and the Bussell family!
