Kayla Yorko is a senior and a member of the softball team.

Yorko started playing sports at a young age. Yorko and her father were always playing a sport so when Yorko started school she wanted to play.

“ The biggest accomplishment would be winning a WPIAL championship,” said Yorko.

Most players have to set goals for themselves. Yorko expects more from herself, to not let her team down, and win them another section title.

“ A challenge I had would be coming into the season as a catcher. I usually play shortstop so I had to learn catching.”

Playing sports can affect its players whether it’s social life, school life, or even their lives at home

“Don’t take the time you have for granted, you never get it back so do your best,” Yorko said.

Yorko has used softball to learn about herself and life as well.
