The banners hanging on the wall of the Archbishop Mitty High School gym in San Jose showcase an impressive collection of superstar athlete alum.
Brandi Chastain, to name a few. And if you ask people in the know, a young up-and-comer, high school freshman McKenna Woliczko’s name may one day be added to the list.
"When McKenna walked through the gym I was taken aback by her positive spirit. Then, to watch her play, and you're going 'Holy Toledo, she's special.' McKenna not only has the talent, she has the mindset which I think separates her from people," said Phillips.
"I definitely get low but what people tell me when I play shortstop, it's not a shortstop but a tall stop…If anything I feel like it helps me because it gives me more range with covering bases or even just like a far ground ball, or there's always like these fun ones where it's like a line drive up high, and I can just jump and get it, and you would never expect anyone to catch those.
Yocke was a softball hall-of-famer at Mitty in her own right, and she says she’s sure McKenna could play at the next level if she just focused on softball.
