Excellent
athlete and will be highly recruited in her senior year.
She

USA Volleyball Youth Volleyball Team

I

her skills were well advanced for her age,
thanks
to her desire and all her coaches.

A good story about Krystal:
When she was in the fifth grade she came to watch her
sister play volleyball at the Buena - Ventura match.
I was helping Mike Russell set up the nets when I saw her
shooting hoops at the end of the court. I went up to her knowing that
she was
a great athlete and challenged her to shoot a 3-point shot. I told
her that
if I made the shot she would have to play club volleyball, if I missed
it I
would never talk to her about volleyball again. Needless to say even
without
shooting a basketball in 10 years, I got nothing but net!!!
The rest is history.
