She's been the centerpiece of our program the past two years. She's really come to the top and it would be a slam to our program and Region XVI if she wouldn't have gotten something. She's quite a talented young lady.

Her consistency was a trademark and her ability to play under pressure was one big thing she possessed. It didn't matter what the situation was, she wanted the ball.

She was so quick at getting to the ball. Really, the young lady has got a tremendous vertical. This year she hit outside for us a lot of times. We didn't take her out when she went to the front row because she held her own blocking and everything. She had several blocks.

She's been one of those people that has been able to play both sports, keep her grades up and then she, (teammate) Mandy (Lance) and (team chaplain) Todd Allen have started a Wednesday night youth group. All of her ducks are in a row.

She's worked her way into one of our top, if not our top, defender on the perimeter. Like I say, the quickness and the ability -- you watch her do the slide, and she's down lower than most, if not all of the people we have. We're going to miss her when she's gone because she's just such a -- the girl always has a smile on her face, the girl always is enthusiastic and leads by example.

Not only is she an overachiever, but she's also a real good athlete. I mean, probably as far as raw athleticism, she's just as good an athlete as we have had, as far as an athlete for being 5-(foot)-2.
