A place to land: Kayla Green overcame rough start in California to star for Arkansas

Kayla Green has the typical scars of an SEC softball catcher. She has marks on her hands from the foul tips.

She’s battled eye vision issues because of two concussions caused by direct hits to her face mask.

But there are things you can’t see that are much more compelling. It’s more incredible than finding focused vision to hit .375 to lead the Arkansas regulars during the 2020 season that was shortened by the covid-19 pandemic.

You might say it provides 20/20 vision for a mature young lady that is mature beyond her 21 years.

It’s nothing that anyone would believe, a story of a barely teenage girl forced to become the parent for two younger siblings because the mother was in drug rehab, along with the stepfather.
