Ashlee Ducote, a small-town girl from Alexandria, La., never dreamed of becoming a great softball player, let alone a Hall-of-Famer. She soon became one of the greatest All-American softball infielders to have played for LSU.
Ducote knew Louisiana State University was the way to go when deciding where to go to school and play ball. She said LSU was "the school to go to at the time," and when the Tiger coaching staff offered her a scholarship, she just couldn't refuse.
She also liked how LSU was starting a new program during her time, and it would be a good option for her to get in and hopefully contribute to the team right away.
