“I love the offen-
sive side of the game
and love working on
improving that part
of my game. I would
pick offense over the
defensive side of the
game,” stated Rogows-
ki. “I pretty much do
what I’m asked of by
my coaches, wheth-
er school or travel, I
try to do whatever is
needed for my team to
succeed.”
All this success has
yet to led to offers for
college. Every athlete
would like to play at
the next level and Ro-
gowski no different.
She would like to see
where the game could
take and has the con-
fidence to make the
jump.
She gets that confi-
dence from playing
travel ball with the
West Seneca Magic.
The Magic are a pre-
miere travel team in
Western New York and
have some of the best
girls from the area on
the team.
Her success on the
travel
circuit
will
hopefully get the col-
lege coaches noticing
her game.
“I have loved ever sec-
ond playing for Magic.
I have met the people
that have become my
forever friends and
part of my family. We
have accomplished so
much more then any
of us could have imag-
ined. We have won
back to back national
championships, both
A and B nationals,”
explained Rogowski.
“Travel ball has given
me the best opportu-
nities of my life and
shaped me into the
player I am. It allowed
me the opportunity to
get to play in front of
college coaches and
continue my playing
time at the next level.”
Of course none of
this could be possible
without the support
of her family. They are
the ones getting up at
all hours on the week-
end to drive to tour-
naments and staying
there - and doing it all
over again.
They are those ones
that are there to sup-
port her during her
good games and bad.
Without that support
system who knows
where she would be
both athletically, and
academically.
“My family is a huge
part of how I got to
where I am. My dad
has coached me since
I started playing and
has made me who I am
today,” said Rogows-
ki. “I am very grate-
ful that I’ve had him
throughout this jour-
ney and would not be
here without him. Not
only has my dad been
there for me, my team
has become my fami-
ly and they have been
there for me through
everything.”
