St Cloud Tech Short Story

One late, Thursday night, under our home court, we played St. Cloud Tech. We played them earlier in the season, so we were ready to take them down another round.

Volleyball may have ended but there are many other times in my future where this may occur and I will always remember Addy because she reminds me that I can accomplish anything. People may call me unbreakable but I think the person that fits that better is
