2. Kelly Hoyer Position: Defensive Specialist Parents: Mary and Alan Hoyer Advice to the team: “No matter what, always keep your head up and be the best you can possibly be.” What Kelly will miss the most about volleyball: “ I will miss the girls I see everyday.” Kelly’s greatest volleyball memory: “Freshman year cuts, Coach Pam told me I would get to play libero. Didn’t know what it was, but got excited when she told me I got to wear a different color. ” Kelly plans on attending Michigan State University after graduation. “Thanks to my mom, for supporting me and coming to every game even when they are far away.” From Coach Pederson: “These ladies are going to be greatly missed in the seasons to follow. Each of these girls have left a lasting impression on the program and on me. I have seen Lisa every day in practice for the last four-years, so not seeing her is going to take some adjusting. She is the first four-year varsity player to go through my program. I will miss Sam, who I have had the pleasure of coaching the last three years, and her great sense of humor. I am anxious to see who will step up and replace Kelly’s consistency and “never give up attitude” in the back row. Marionna’s work ethic is unmatchable and will really be missed next year, as well as her great attitude. Olivia has led by example from the first open gym over the summer. Her dedication and communication have been crucial to our success this year. I wish all of these girls nothing but the best for the future, as I know they will go on to do great things.” Kelly’s Special Thanks: From Coach Christine: “I feel honored to have been given the opportunity to come back to my old high school and help coach with such a wonderful staff and really great kids. It has been such a special experience getting to know all of the girls and watching them grow as volleyball players and as young ladies from the beginning of the season to the end. It’s a shame that I only had one season with the seniors because they are a great group of girls who will be greatly missed. This 2011 varsity volleyball team would not have been the same without them and without all the different dynamics each individual brought to the team. Thank you seniors, and good luck to all of you on your journey to adulthood and know you will always be a part of the cougar volleyball alumni family!”
