Let's start to close the 2016 thread with a forward looking, happier Tori Blake.

Really, truly proud of Tori. She enrolled early in the hope of getting a jump on her training so she could be an asset on the court right away. Instead, she had a career full of injuries, and probably pain and frustration. As soon as she got healthy, she'd work really hard to crack the staring lineup, only to get injured again. But she was always cheerful, always encouraging, always helpful. And now she's graduating in four years flat, and has a shiny new job in DC lined up.
I hope she will be at the banquet so we can congratulate her in person.

Is that Lexi in there too?
We will miss her presence. I think she was like the sideline captain. I know she was in charge of line judging.
Her sister looks vaguely like Hilley.

That Carlini highlight reel was awesome. She is one of the few setters I know who could set the middle from behind the 10ft. Line. I also loved her set deception I felt like she didn't give away where she was putting the ball until it was traveling in the direction it was headed. She was such a special talent,

Why are they different sizes? I get Molly's as she was FOTY, but confused about the others. Unless it's an optical illusion.

I think they got this awards heading wrong giving Molly credit twice and not mentioning Haleigh.

I wonder if it is because she got Freshman of the Year, and the others are since they are on the teams, and not a specific award (i.e. Player, Setter, Freshman or Defensive Player)

I think the question is why LC's looks so small compared to Haleigh's & Tionna's.

Nah, he would have spelled the name wrong too.
They should bring them to the banquet so we can compare.

Still haven't been able to make it through the 12 minute season ending video.
But I came across this video again and it is just to fun not to share again.

A season-ending Meet the Parents, the one we've all been waiting for: The Nelsons.
