    Other Hobbies, Interests, Etc...
     
  • I played B.B. my 10th grade year for my H.S. and softball. I'll continue with softball, but probably not B.B. (too much).

    My Favorite Volleyball Moment:
     Beating Hopkins in 3 during the regular season, then beating them again in 5 for sectionals. Having 28 kills during that match, which was the highest of both teams. We worked hard to prepare for those matches!
