Flinthills’ Emily Scribner has been waiting all summer to play fall ball with her closest friends. Because of the relationships she’s made, Scribner has high expectations for the season.
“Building that team chemistry and bond with the team is important,” Scribner said. “I’ve played since fourth grade, and really started playing with these girls in middle school. I play because of them.
It’s a really special group. I love spending time with them, competing, and of course winning.”
To prepare for the season, Scribner and the girls spent all offseason playing the game they love, and were ready for regular season practice and games by day one.
“Our team practices two days a week over the summer along with camps and tournaments too, and we do all of that too during the season so that helps,” Scribner said.
After making a state appearance her sophomore year, Scribner is excited and confident to make it back.
“My goals for the season are to make it back to the state tournament again,” Scribner said. “Our goals are set high and we have been doing well so far this season so we have a good chance already.”
After graduation Scribner plans to continue her schooling in Manhattan. “I plan on attending Kansas State to major in elementary education after high school,” Scribner said.
