Kickapoo at Glendale -- In Memory of the Lamberts

McKinley's mom tapped me on the shoulder tonight and told me how much she appreciated us honoring her daughter. She started crying and I gave her the biggest hug on behalf of all of us. Volleychief family, your caring hearts are next to none.

It was also Glendale's Pink Out Night and they presented Coach Downs with this lovely pink bouquet inside of a pink volleyball!

Pink out Night! The coaches with our Honorary Coach, Robin Abbott, 5 year breast cancer survivor and mom of 2 KHS students. Thank you to the Volleychief Booster Club and the Dixon's, event sponsor, for another successful Pink Out Fundraiser!
