I am a first-time poster, and in full disclosure, an Amherst fan. It's nice to see so much interest on this board.
I just wanted to say congratulations to Coach Gromacki, the assistant coaches, and the entire Amherst women's basketball team on your season. You surpassed all expectations this year, and for that, you should be proud.
Where to start...Marcia Voigt. You have the heart of a champion, and it was a pleasure watching you play. It was obvious that you wanted another championship, and you almost willed your team to one. You will go down as one of the greatest players to ever play for Amherst, and perhaps the best point guard. To all three seniors...you gave 100% of yourselves all season long and set a great example for the underclassmen. Underclassmen...So mature, so mentally tough. We can't wait for next year! To the team...you proved that with discipline and togetherness, the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.
Coach Gromacki...I was an Amherst fan long before your arrival and can tell you firsthand the positive impact you have had on your team, the Amherst program, and the community. Coach, thank you for bringing these wonderful women to our campus, coaching them up, and teaching them life lessons they will never forget. Five Final Fours in five years. Who does that? No one. Other schools have come and gone, Amherst players have come and gone, and every year for the past 5 years you have coached your team to the Final Four. I want you to know how much the community appreciates what you have done, and the fine women you have brought to the Amherst community. They are well-prepared to make a difference in this world, and for that, we thank you.
