Kelsey Young of Eureka High School signed a national letter of intent to play volleyball at Faulkner State Community College in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
The Sun Chiefs' program is highly regarded for its proximity to the beach, vacation-style climate and the occasional victory.
"We're thrilled to have her," said Dr. Ritchie Dulaney, the veteran head coach who's led FSCC to 240 victories. "We don't often get a chance at a quality player from the northern states. She'll be worth every penny."
FSCC honored Young's request for a full athletic scholarship. The four-year stipulation is unusual for a two-year college, but Young explained it as evidence of her commitment to helping the team become a top contender.
"I'm only taking a half-load of classes so that I can spend lots of time at the b... bookstore and the gym."
The college will also be providing year-round housing for an uncle and aunt, who volunteered to help tutor the decorated setter after convincing her to enroll for several math and art classes.
Young also took the occasion to promote her upcoming charity event, in which winter clothes will be auctioned to raise money for the Penn State volleyball team.

I think that if the aunt and uncle get a place, so should the parents!!
I also think this calls for a Frei/Young family version of "the onion"! I really think we could make it work!!
