Cook softball notes: Everything’s clicking for Fremd
The Daily Herald, April 30, 2024
Buffalo Grove: The Bison (6-8, 4-4) have won four of their last seven games following Monday's 5-1 loss at Fremd. Leah Hampton has come on strong hitting, batting .533 over the past five games. McKenna Wagner is hitting .444 in that span. "And with Kayla O'Malley and Erin Ryan still hitting above .400, it makes for a tough lineup," said BG coach Martha Kelly. "We continue to make some defensive changes to tweak and see what works. Sammie Kosnoff is still doing her job on the mound getting timely strikeouts and keeping us in games." Read Story

Little did Kosiek know he'd one day be the head coach at Buffalo Grove and facing Riedy in his 30th season at Prospect.
