College is all about exploring new things.

Former Wolf superstar Madeline Roberts is proving that daily, as the softball sensation continues to play out an unexpected sports diversion.

After playing high school hoops only as a freshman, she wasn’t the first person you’d expect to pick back up the sport.

And yet here she is, almost 20 games into her freshman basketball season at Shoreline Community College.

Roving photo man John Fisken was down Mount Vernon way Wednesday and caught Roberts in action against Skagit Valley College to prove it was fact and not just a rumor.

Might not be her usual sport, but one thing remains true — Mad Dog will kick your fanny in whatever sport she chooses to play.
