The amazing Marine Captain, Marlissa Grogan, is the
Treasurer on the
BASE TOUR, and she really protects the bottom line,
because she was also
on the Fundraising Team, w/ Susie Husted.
NOTICE: When Marlissa takes a
snap, and does her 5 step drop, while hollering
"GO LONG", she'll pump-fake with the pigskin, then
unleash a 45 yard perfect spiral
to her intended receiver
!
BEWARE: Don't get
your feelings hurt, fellas, she's quite capable of kicking butt
!
