Karley's Senior Night

Karley's Team
On Tuesday night, the Women's Volleyball team at Trinity celebrated their last home game of the regular season. This game was designated as senior night, and the three seniors in the program were honored. The three girls are named Lindsay McWalter, Melanie Lawrence (Karley and I's roommate and friend), and Karley.

Coach Schepel said something over the mic that was nice about each girl. He talked about Lindsay's serving abilities, Mel's killer setting, and when he got to Karley he talked about how, after being taken out of play due to her shoulder surgery this June, she has approached the season with an awesome attitude and invaluable leadership qualities. I personally see both Karley and Mel stepping up to lead the team this year especially - I've heard lots of the underclassmen girls on the team say that they really look up to both of them and can't believe they won't be back next year.

Grandma, Grandpa, Craig, Conor, Karen, Nick, Karyl, and, of course, John, were all there to see the game. The trolls blew out Calumet St. Joe's in three games. We were out of there in 30 minutes. But afterward some parents brought cake and other desserts so that families and friends of the team could all linger and talk in the lobby of the new gym. Congrats Karley on an awesome volleyball career!

Congratulations Karley! You are an outstanding volleyball player, and have been an encourager, mentor, teammate, and friend to the other girls on your team. Way to go Karley! I think coach should learn a few things from his players.
