"
I joined the Dana coaching staff because I believe wholeheartedly
in the philosophies of Marcy, Tom and Karen. I saw the
turnaround they made and they made me believe in Dana
softball
again. This was an opportunity to grow as a coach and learn
from one of the best coaching staffs in the country. I
also love the game of softball and was grateful to be able to
give back
to the program that gave me so much as a player," Graham
said.
