2014 KSS OWLS AAAA GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

Kennedy is extremely excited to be playing with the Owls for her final year at KSS. Her dream was to be an allstar middle, but sadly she is too tall to play in the middle so she has had to settle with libero. Covered in
bruises from running into chairs, benches, bleachers, walls and of course floors makes her look like a week old
peach. Follow on insta: ksnape13
