Coach
Middleton Says
Natalie has been slowed because of a car wreck that occurred
and will be out at least one month of the preseason and practice.
The main thing for her is just to get healthy and for us to
able to slowly work her back into the game. Before she had
the car wreck, we were able to tell that she was a very good
athlete and was also a good competitor. Anything you ask her
to do she will go try to do it. There is no question that
she wants to try to get better. She is one of our strongest
players on the team as well.

If you could meet and spend the afternoon with any
celebrity who would it be and why? I would want to

many stepping stones to fulfill her dream. And I have as well
gone through many obstacles to live the life God has planned
for me.
