Amber J. 18UBS and Alecia F. 18UBS both made the Racine County All-Area Team. See quotes from the MyRacineCounty.com article below:
Catcher
Alecia Faber, jr., Union Grove Union High School: Faber's small stature hides a fierce ability behind the plate - one so good that Boylen said a coach scouting his team resolved never to try to steal against Faber.
"He wrote down in his book, 'Do not run unless (the ball) gets caught in the backstop," Boylen said. "Alecia provides the team with great flexibility both offensively and defensively and that is a blessing as a coach."
Faber also batted .380 this year with 27 hits, 18 runs scored and 16 RBI - including the winning run in the state semifinals against Oconto Falls.
Infielders
Amber Johnson, jr., Union Grove Union High School: Just how dangerous was Johnson at the plate this year? In the state semifinals, the Oconto Falls pitcher purposely walked her to get to Faber.
Johnson finished the season with 43 RBI off of 38 hits. She also had eight doubles, four triples and a home run.
"Amber is a hard-nosed girl that swings a big bat for us," Boylen said. "Amber has explosive pop in her bat and when she is on, you aren't going to be able to get the ball by her."
She also went errorless at first base for the Broncos this season.

Emily J. 16UDB broke her school's all time individual season pitching record for least walks/game! Her record is 0.19 (she pitched 63.6 innings, with 12 walks).
6/8/11
Amber J. 18UBS is sitting near the top of the state's RBI leader board. Her 41 'knocks' for the season have her currently ranked 6th for all Wisconsin H.S. softball players. Keep the RBIs coming Amber!

Congratulations to the Union Grove H.S. softball team for being named the Racine Journal Times' Sports Team of the Week on May 4th.

2/7/11 "A FEAT TO BEAT COLD FEET"
Cassie G. 18USP~ Giving back to Romanian Children...
 A happy boy from Romania with his new shoes |
Gaining momentum from what started as a simple observation, "Those children have no shoes", a fund raising effort helmed by Heidi Hawkinson of West Bend with her friends Marius and Cassie George of Hartford,WI. snowballed into a source for warmth both spiritual and physical for people thousands of miles away. Defining charity and generosity while saying much about the character of these area residents, response to Hawkinson's and the George's pleas to help the people of Romania lead to an outpouring of funds and faith. |
