Grace's 8th grade teacher, Melissa Benter, was inducted into the Mayville High School Athletic Hall of Fame on Jan 15.
She had an outstanding career as a high school softball pitcher and played collegiately at Butler University (shown is her Butler photo from around 2003) .
We are so blessed to have her as part of our Grace family.

- She was all-state several times.
- She holds the D2 WIAA state tournament record for strikeouts per game (16) and strikeouts in the state tournament (29).
- She had a 0.10 ERA as a senior.
- She also is listed in the top 5 in the state for hit batters during the tournament, but I'm guessing that she was simply backing the hitters off the plate and they were just too darn slow to get out of the way!
We are so blessed to have her as part of our Grace family.
