thoughts of senior night

shared by Marlo R. Beall, her sister

This evening, around 30 of our family members attended the Logan versus Kennedy men's volleyball match. We were there to cheer on Teo and his friends on the JV team, and Frisco and his friends on the Varsity team.

It was also Frisco's "Senior Night", since he will be graduating from high school this year. So it was even more festive, with posters and signs of the five senior team members on the gym walls, and our own signs and balloons showing our support for our cousin/nephew/son.

Frisco and his fellow seniors were introduced before the game. They walked out with their parents, girlfriends and other family members, while team managers shared their favorite volleyball memory and their messages of thanks with the crowd.

It was even more fitting that Kennedy was the opposing team, given that my sisters and I are all Kennedy alumni. I know Cindy was cheering right along with us. She would undoubtedly have attended as many sporting events for her cousins (as well as nieces) as possible, beaming with pride and joy.
