What a time for the sport of softball and for women’s athletics as a whole.. there are stadiums that seat THOUSANDS packed full - overflowing, with fans waiting in lines wrapping around buildings to get in, and the first EVER game aired on ABC - Gives me chills to think about!
To know Coach Gasso is to know loyalty, dedication, servant leadership, humility, grit, a blue-collar work ethic, and so much more. Thank you, Coach, for continuing to set the example! Congrats

on another Natty☝🏼Proud Alum.
One last time at Marita Hynes... I can’t believe I’ll be taking the field here for the last time this weekend... but I’m SO thankful for the support we have had since I’ve been here. LETS GET LOUD SOONER NATION. 🔑
AFTER throwing her first career NO HITTER, we found

taking care of the mound before leaving the field tonight - her talent is special, but her CHARACTER is what will separate her beyond the field. Never be too big to do the little things!

Montana Fouts the last person on the field. She’s talked to and signed everything the young Rhoads Ragers have asked for. She’s walked from the 1st base dugout all the way over to the 3rd base line.

Late night bus rides, muffled laughter, the difficulty of reaching the bathroom on the back of the bus, card games, team meals... some of the things that I REFUSE to take for granted ever again - blessed to be coaching, and thankful for those who helped get us back on the field🙌🏼
Hats off to

Coach Gasso showed Lauren Chamberlain tough love, just the kind of tough love she needed to form a long-lasting relationship between two Sooner greats.

Don’t know much, but what I do know is this:
1. Think about yourself less, and think about others more
2. All things will be made right in time
3. (Most importantly) GOD’s got this
