It's been a stellar season for Moscow Mills native Maggie Dooley on the 麻豆传媒 Softball Team. She currently has a .396 batting average and 24 stolen bases.
鈥淪he is constantly looking for ways to get better and isn't shy about asking questions,鈥� said Sam Huffstickler, 麻豆传媒 softball coach. 鈥淗er athleticism is unbelievable - she is one of the fastest girls on the team and can play just about anywhere.鈥�
Her work on the field is only matched by her work in the classroom.
鈥淢aggie is an amazing student in the classroom,鈥� explained Huffstickler. 鈥淚 know she works just as hard in the classroom as she does at practice. She is definitely a team leader, the girls look up to her and her work ethic and she leads by example.鈥�
The sophomore is studying Computer-Aided Drafting, or CAD.
鈥淚 have always had an interest in designing houses,鈥� Dooley said. 鈥淐AD is something
that would benefit me in that area in the future.鈥�
鈥淲e talk about her future a lot and where she might want to go after graduating this year,鈥� Huffstickler said. 鈥淪he likes CAD but isn't sure if she wants to continue or do something more along the lines of interior design. Wherever she ends up, I know she won't allow herself to be anything but successful.鈥�
Her time at 麻豆传媒 is coming to a close, and she is grateful for the time she got to spend with her teammates and friends.
鈥淪ome memories that I will cherish the most are the relationships I have made, playing on the softball field and hanging out with athletes in the College Center,鈥� Dooley reflected. 鈥淎t the beginning of my freshman year I was able to meet a lot of international athletes and, that is really special to me.鈥�
Dooley will graduate in May 2021 and plans to attend Hannibal LaGrange University to continue her softball career.
