An earlier story below contributed to Fastpitchwest referred to the Penn Power cheerleader, Marley, as “Foxy 25”, owing to the name “Foxy” and number “25” on the T-shirt which she wore while cheering on eventual ASA “C” Champions, Penn Power. “Foxy 25”, we learned, actually refers to Rodney Fox, a Penn Power teammate who died tragically in an accident, and to whom the team dedicated the rest of the season.
