January 1, 2008 -
January 13th is a very important day for Beth and her
husband, Chris, as she is due with her first child. So late in her
pregnancy, she has had trouble getting up and down the stairs, as
all the moms can attest, and can only imagine she "might be a little
slow off the line in 3 months!"
Beth played soccer and volleyball in high school
and then just pick-up sports through college and "the afterlife."
One of those sports was flag football. A mutual friend of hers and
Coach Val crossed her path at a game and learned that she planned to
try out for the then-Toledo Spitfire. Beth made the team and is
now preparing for her 3rd season.
During the day, Beth is a Quality Engineer. She
takes pride in her job, as well as her football “memories,” which
includes her many bumps and bruises. She is physically and
mentally tough. She doesn’t back down from life’s many challenges
nor does she back down from opponents. She stands her ground and
pushes through. Her favorite football moment is her first
quarterback sack. She is very proud of that moment. What she is
missing most right now is the friendship and camaraderie of the
football team. She has the utmost respect for her teammates.
In her spare time Beth enjoys dancing (but she
doesn’t want to be the “old lady at the club”), reading, cooking and
throwing dinner parties. She has been missed for her sense of
humor and her wonderful cooking that she often shares with the team.
Beth we wish you the best and can’t wait to see
you, no matter how slow, back on the field with your teammates.
