Not the same Ricketts; File #7


From Oklahoma University Softball's website:

PLAYER OF THE YEAR FINALISTS
Samantha Ricketts and Norrelle Dickson were honored by USA Softball as one of 25 finalists around the country selected for the USA Softball National Player of the Year Award. Ricketts and Dickson were two of the seven Big 12 athletes selected by the committee. Dickson appeared on the preseason watch list for the third time in her career but is making her first appearance on the list of 25 while it marks Ricketts’ first honor by USA Softball.

On May 9, just days before the start of post-season play, a list of 10 finalists will be named. On May 23 the list will be cut to three and those final three players will travel to Oklahoma City for the announcement of the winner at the 2007 NCAA Women’s College World Series.

Samantha doesn't really have anything to do with Ricketts, Iowa- but the rest of this website does!

If you grew up in Ricketts, be sure to plan on coming to our annual reunion, the third Saturday in July. If you have memories or pictures of Ricketts to share, email them to our webmaster: ted.mallory -at- gmail.com

If you have other funny, kitsch, or corny "Not the same Ricketts" ideas, send them too. Help put Ricketts on the map!

Come to think of it, I highly doubt Samantha has ever been to Ricketts, but who knows, maybe she's been to Iowa at least. If I were her, I'd take a roadtrip to Ricketts, just so she could take some pictures of herself next to Ricketts signs and stuff. That would look pretty cool in a scrapbook, if you ask me.
