found playing sports with her brothers in many backyards, playgrounds, and gyms. During her early years she would try out for youth teams meant only for boys. That never detoured her desire to make the team only to be turned away because she was a girl. She soon became a player everyone wanted on their team. she was a star a Poky High school long before Title 1X was in effect. She never gave up, Rosie was a winner.
