This post was originally published on 7 June 2010. It was the nineth post under commentsfromcoachmike.com , a domain that I had purchase to kick off my writing / blogging again. After last week’s TBT post, several people have asked me how Ashley did. I said they had to wait until this week’s follow-up. Here’s the re-cap.
Well, as most of you already know Miss Illinois USA, Ashley Bradarich wasn’t crowned Miss USA 2010. That honour went to Miss Michigan USA Rima Fakih. My congratulations.
In the Online Voting, Miss Ohio USA, Amanda Tempel had 36% of the vote, followed by Ashley with 33% of the vote and in third place, Miss Texas USA Kelsey Moore with 5% of the vote. Thanks to all of you that answered my request to vote, it is appreciated.
I guess I don’t understand these pageants and probably never will, but it was fun to see a young woman up on stage on TV that I actually know and remember watching play basketball. Ashley showed considerable poise and class throughout the pageant. She carries her Miss Illinois USA title with pride and will continue to live a responsible and giving life. I encourage you all to read her blog and continue to learn more of this wonderful young women’s journey.
To Donald Trump, please dump Joan and Melissa. Their presence added no value to the show, nor could they possibly have contributed anything positive to these young women.

What a wonderful experience it must have been to watch this little girl playing basketball develop into this incredible young woman🤗
