Ashley wasn't playing well and our coach noticed that she was sluggish in games and at practice. He sat Ashley down in his office and asked her if she was pregnant and she said "Yes Coach, about four months." Ashley was immediately benched. This happened in December and she did not come back to Northwest the next semester. I do not know why Shields is saying she was eight months pregnant when she played. Maybe she thinks people will consider her a better player because she had to overcome her pregnancy.
