Mother's Strength Serves As Inspiration For Sun Devils' Macha

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Breanna Macha won't have to look far for inspiration when she takes the mound for the Sun Devils softball team. Inscribed on her mitt are the words: "Give it your all."

It's a simple message her mom delivered before Bre took the hill for games at Mesa Red Mountain High School, or in club ball. Nobody knew more about giving it their all than Jane Macha.

"She taught me to be the person and player I am," Bre said.

Jane Macca was diagnosed with brain cancer when Bre, the youngest of four daughters, was 6 years old.
