Athletics Mercado RC 16u

September 1st is here. 🥎🙏

2028s — this is an important date, but it does not define your journey.

Some phones will ring today. Some will ring later. Some opportunities will come exactly when you expect them to, and others will come from places you never saw coming.

Trust God’s timing. Trust His plan.

Don’t allow recruiting to steal the joy from the game you’ve loved long before September 1st mattered.

Keep competing. Keep working. Keep being a great teammate. Keep smiling. Keep playing FREE.

Your worth isn’t measured by a phone call, an offer, a ranking, or who contacted you first.

What God has for you will not miss you.

Class of 2028 — enjoy YOUR journey. ❤️🥎

Faith over fear. Work over worry. Joy through the journey.

Our #44 KJ Sanders has officially arrived in CSUN Softball . ❤️🖤

It’s been a journey for Kharlee to find the place she could truly call home. Where others may have allowed doubt to creep in, Kharlee never wavered. She stood firm in who she was, believed in the player she knew herself to be, and trusted that the right opportunity would find her.

She didn’t settle for a place to play — she waited for a place where she belonged. And she found it. ❤️🖤

Now it’s time for the next chapter.

From Athletics Mercado to Cal State Northridge🥎
