Coach Graystone Says
"Despite playing with nagging shoulder and Achilles problems last season, Kelly led the team in blocking and was named to the LSC South and All-Region teams. If Kelly can overcome these injuries as we expect she should, she will be a dominant middle blocker. With the youth of our team this year, it's vital for Kelly to be on the court every match and anchor the defense as well as score points in transition."
