The Big Stories team is scouring the Big 12 for more inspirational stories for this season. In the meantime, we thought we would dip into the Big Stories archive to bring you an encore presentation of an episode from Season 1.

Cassady Brewer wanted out of Apopka, Florida. The softball player desired to play anywhere other than nearby UCF. But Cassady's mother desired for her to play for the Knights before she died.
