When my youngest daughter was playing volleyball in high school, the team had a couple of all state hitters where just beasts.
ReplyDeleteThe team had something called "the Lauren and Kendra Club." Membership included any of the teammates who had been "faced" by one of them.
The club's motto was: It's alright to cry.
good one.
