A young Monica Vidoni dreams of being a basketball star.

A rare down moment for a three-sport athlete.
Monica Vidoni roots for the wrong baseball team. Let’s just get that out there.
She’s a die-hard St. Louis Cardinals fanatic, and, the simple fact is, the Pittsburgh Pirates are the far superior MLB franchise.
Truth. End of story.
And no, I really don’t need to be told what their respective records are right now.
That changes nothing. Nothing!
But anyway, get away from her obvious blindness in matters of baseball and Ms. Vidoni, who will be a senior at CHS in the fall, has become one of my favorites.
A three-sport athlete (volleyball, basketball, softball), she took great strides as a junior, lettering twice and starting for a softball squad that went to the state tourney.
She and Wolf teammates Kacie Kiel, Wynter Thorne and Kailey Kellner recently attended a basketball camp at Western Washington University, where they came away the undefeated camp champs.
As she heads towards her final year of high school sports, there is little doubt Vidoni will be “ballin’ hard.”
Here’s to hoping her finale plays out in grand fashion.
