Kylee is a hardworking, kind, respectful student athlete and goes out of her way to make people smile. She has been a member of the North Oconee softball program for the last two years and is also a member of the NOHS Lacrosse team and FFA where she takes care of and shows goats. Kylee is always eager and willing to help her teammates and coaching staff, being a perfect example of a Lady Titan. In the beginning of 2019, her team learned that Kylee had a brain tumor located directly between her optic nerves that caused excruciating headaches. She was battling severe headaches and fatigue for almost a full year while continuing to participate in school, sports, 18U travel ball, and FFA. There’s been good and bad days, but Kylee has fought for more good days! She has to take more breaks than she normally would, but she doesn’t let it affect her spirit or attitude. Last year as a freshman, Kylee was “thrown into” many varsity games as a pitcher, outfielder, infielder, and base runner. She handled every situation with poise, competitiveness, and calmness. As a pitcher, she faced one of the best teams in the region and showed ZERO nerves. She is a true competitor. Kylee is scheduled to have the tumor removed in September 2020. The surgery will take 3-4 hours and will be in the hospital for 3-4 nights with the first 24 hours in the ICU. Kylee has given us all instructions to keep her updated on how her JV and Varsity teams are doing. Kylee has already shared with the coaches and her mom that she wants to get back to the field as soon as possible.
