Megan Carver, Pitcher of the Week

Megan Carver, Starting Pitcher
Cascade Middle School
.
"Pitcher of the Week"

.
Rocks Rainier 28-0 with 7 run rule in effect

.
Hard work or work hard?
Both. Megan Carver does both at Catcher,Shortstop and Pitcher with Acers 12u and now Starting Pitcher for Cascade Middle School.
.
On a sunny day in October, a tired, over-worked 7th grader awakens for her morning and eats a big breakfast that includes a PB&J, goes to school, works hard-eats PB&J for lunch,comes home does homework,eats dinner, goes to batting practice,takes a break, begins Pitching practice with Coach Adam which takes 60 to 90 minutes of hard work and downs a water bottle, eats a PB&J. Goes home does her homework and gets to bed.
.
Megan,tired and half awake gets up the next day to go to school,eats lunch has a PB&J,schools out, game starts at 3pm and throws strikes for 4 innings and game over, 28-0 against Rainier (probably has a PB&J after the game) then goes to Acers practice.
Hard work or work hard? It's a choice not every athlete can make with a smile on their face. Megan has desire to be a starting pitcher,dedication to get the job done, determination to follow through with a plan, discipline to know right from wrong, dependable and on time, tries hard to do the right thing always and leads by example.
.
" I think Megan is kid with good stuff on and off the ball field, maybe an over achiever but she wants to make 2009 a year to remember. She has done that and more, an inspiration. Her peers and even some parents can learn from Megan about hard work, I know I have."
