“My time at UDA not only gave me the education I needed to succeed, but gave me athletic opportunities to pursue softball at the college level. The memories I made during my time at UDA will last a lifetime.”

“Our greatest success in interscholastic athletics is when our student-athletes become successful in the years after they graduate. Having them use the lessons learned from their time in our program is very important and extremely meaningful to us.”

“I moved to Elizabethville in 1969. My neighbor Jan Collier ask me if I would want to go to a game. Of course I said yes and have been going ever since. I try and see every sport that UDA has to offer and I saw wonderful athletes go through our programs. I have great memories from the past and a lot more coming in the future. UDA is my home and I am so proud of everyone from the coaches to the athletes. Thanks for the memories. How lucky can one person be? A fan forever.”
— Mary Keim
“Behind all of our student athletes is the will to succeed, not just in the gym or on the field, but in anything they do and in life as a whole.”

“In all the years that I have coached in the District (starting in the 1984-85 school year ) I’ve always enjoyed working with the young people that I was coaching. The best part of coaching, is seeing their improvement through the years, and seeing them grow into fine young citizens. It’s a great compliment when a player you coached years ago still calls you Coach.”
— David Shadle, Former Head Girls Basketball Coach, UDA ’67
