Coach's Comments:
“Some players lead by being vocal, pumped up, enthusiastic. Others lead by examplegiving 100% in every sprint, every drill, every practice, every game, every day. Laura does it all. There has not been a day in her career that she has given less. If she was sick, injured, or suffering from a bad day, nobody ever knew. Once she entered Eddy King Gymnasium, she was all there. If a coach could give a gift of motivation to incoming freshman, I would give Laura’s heart.”
