Head Coach Jennifer Patterson told the Kennedale News by email,
?Iam proud of the girls and the season that we had. Through thick and thin, they
bonded and became a strong unit. The fact that every member of the team was
awarded an All District nod shows how well they truly performed. They not only
performed on the court, but in the classroom as well with every member of the
Varsity receiving the Academic All District award.?
?I have no doubt that our seniors aregoing to be an undeniable influence on the world. They have successful futures
ahead of them. For those remaining at Kennedale, we will take the lessons
learned this year and continue to build a dominant volleyball program.
