Current Miss Maine Softball Award winner Morgan Fusco has begun her college playing career for the Colby College Mules in Waterville, Maine. It is rare that high school athletes participate in NCAA athletics. Even rarer is that an athlete plays four years at the collegiate level.
One reason is college team sports are a full-time proposition. An athlete has to have a true passion for the game to play NCAA sports. I remember in the spring of my freshman year of football at Springfield College, I received a note in my mailbox from my coach telling me to come over to the equipment room to get suited in my pads for spring practice.
