Favorite non-championship memory: At my
last Shotgun Raider shoot awards ceremony,
I was talking to my mom about my shooting
coach, Coach Brad All that passed away.
We were laughing and talking about the
things we would do when we went on our
shoots. I told my mom he always promised
he would be at my last shoot. She said
always remember him telling you he would
be there. I started feeling rain drops. I asked
my mom if she was getting rained on. She
said no, the sun is shining. We looked up,
and there was not a cloud in the sky. I told
her that was weird that I was the only one
getting rain drops on me. She just smiled.
I thought she was crazy. Then I heard my
name, and I won a $1,000 scholarship. She
asked me later if I ever figured out why I
was the only one getting rain drops on me.
I told her that was crazy. She told me she
thought it was Brad telling me he was there
with me. I smiled, and said he would have
done that to me. I love you forever, Coach
Brad.
