When you hear that a high school sports star has moved across the country late in her high school career, a lot of eyebrows go up. Are sports taking up too much of the kid’s life, some might ask. In the case of Arizona softball commit Allie Skaggs and her family, it really was about coming home.
Allie and her older brother Ben Skaggs were born in Tucson and spent their early years in Anthem, Arizona. Her mother and father attended Flowing Wells High School on Tucson’s west side where both were athletes. Her grandparents are here.
