BigSale welcome to BGP. Great first post. Agree with all

Sister

No she did not. She is eligible this year to play for the Pandas!!!

Hanna Knaley transferred to NDA for the 2013 school year.

Those are the classes for the 2013 season.

NDA rising sophomores Morgan Hentz and Hanna Knaley were selected to play on the Girls Select A1 Team. This is a huge accomplishment as the girls tried out with over 3,600 girls and only 55 were chosen for this highest level. Both girls play club for nationally ranked NKYVC. Hanna plays for 15 Tsunami and Morgan plays for 16 Tsunami. Morgan's team finished with a final national ranking of 7th and she was named to the All Tournament team at 16 Open. As members of the Girls Select A1 Team the girls will travel to Ft. Lauderdale, FL, July 18-28 and practice. After several days of practice they will be divided onto teams and compete in a four day tournament. The future is bright for both NDA and NKYVC!

NKYVC 16 Tsunami competed in the USA Volleyball National Tournament in Dallas, TX. last week. The team competed in the highest division, Open, by qualifying at the Northeast Qualifier in Philadelphia in April. The Open division is the top 32 teams in the country, all of which must qualify at a qualifying tournament in order to be eligible to play at this tournament. The 7th place finish is the highest ever by a team consisting of mainly girls from Northern Kentucky. The team lost four matches over the four day tournament (all four teams that beat them finished in the top 6) and defeated teams from Nebraska, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, and California. The team members are rising sophomores and juniors: Ashley Bush (Ryle Junior/Northwestern Univ), Kay Butler (Ryle Junior) Hannah Colvin (NDA Sophomore), Morgan Hentz (NDA Sophomore), Micaela Stephenson (NDA Junior), Abby Thelen (NDA Junior), Baylee Johnson (Centerville High Junior/Univ of Southern Cal) and Tori Hemsath (Mother McAuley Junior). Morgan Hentz plays "up" on this team and earned All Tournament honors for her spectacular play. This team has qualified Open the last three years (another first for a team comprised of players mainly from No. KY) and is excited about the future.
