Williamsville South's Abby Ferenzcy has been a part of the Billies program since she can remember. Two of her older sisters played for the Blue and White, and her mom, Mary, has been the head coach for more than two decades.
"I'd be forced to come to all the field hockey games, both home and away," Abby joked. "I'd be the score keeper, clock runner. Just seeing the game from there really drew me into it more."
Now in her senior year, Abby is still lighting up the scoreboard on game days, and currently leads all of Section VI in goals with 19 and assists with nine.
"I'm not really focused on who is scoring the goal, it's just about the outcome and working as a team with all the passing," she said. "If I have a shot at the top of the circle but see my teammate open, I'll chose to pass the ball instead of taking the shot myself."
The results have followed. The Billies are 11-0-1 on the season and, as of Monday, first in the Class B standings.
"I know Abby is very driven and she's very vocal out on the field," her mom said. "She's very driven to success athletically and academically."
All while savoring every minute between the lines in her final season.
"I'm just giving it all I got in my last high school season with all of my friends," she said. "And I don't know when I'm going to get that opportunity again. I'm taking all the moments in with my teammates and my mom. Giving it 110% at games and at practice."
