An idle October Saturday for Abby Ford nearly two years ago turned into a busy and ultimately a vey telling one for the Ozark senior who canât get enough softball.
Ford made the trip in the morning to Carthage to cheer on Ozarkâs junior-varsity team at a tournament and on her way home stopped in Springfield in the afternoon to watch Missouri State play exhibition games against Mizzou and Southeast Missouri State.
âThat was honestly the fist time I really thought to myself, âThis is my goal, I want to play D-I softball and I would love to go to MSU,ââ Ford said. âThatâs when I started dreaming of going to MSU.â
