Maundrell notes that coaching has its ups and downs, but prides herself in establishing a work ethic that brings out the best in her athletes. Like Bailey, she's had her own ups and downs losing her husband less than three years ago.
Mike Maundrell was a pitching coach who worked with Moeller, Mount St. Joseph, Midland and East Cobb baseball in Georgia among others. As Gail Maundrell had reached out to Stacy Bailey in her struggle, Bailey was there to support the Turpin coach.
Anderson's Abby Pitts was district champ on vault, bars and all-around and is a state qualifier in floor exercise. Turpin's Maycee Herzog was district champ in floor and third in all-around, while also qualifying on bars.
Turpin's other individual qualifiers are Allysa Carney (vault, floor, bars, all-around), Abbigail Dittman (bars, beam, all-around) and Delilah Folk (vault).
In addition to Pitts, Anderson qualified Natalie Reising (bars, beam, floor, all-around), Maddie Belcoure (floor) and Mattie Bailey (vault).
