Not sure if any of you have seen this today, but former OSU stand-out player, Julie Ward, asked for the firing of OSU Head Coach Ken Weigland, after he approved the ceremonial burning of her jersey. Julie is a former player for SMGSA (Sierra Madre Girls Softball - San Gabriel Valley) and Pride traveball. She earned a 5-year FULL ATHLETIC scholarship to play for OSU and hold a number of school records. Additionally, she was an integral player in getting OSU to the WCWS in 2012.
This is the utmost of disrespect to not only Julie, but to the game of softball, and to student-athletes. It touches a major nerve for me, as I met Julie when she worked my softball diner for me for several years. She has returned to California and continues to support the game by coaching travel and high school ball and instructing.
