I love this team. I wanted to play as long as possible bc of how special this group is. It was felt from the very beginning & felt at the very end. We’ll never have THIS same team again. For that I’m sad, but grateful it happened. What a joy it was to watch what we became! (1/2)

I watched my bro recite this as part of a 7th grade history day performance (4th nationally). Living & being a witness of the/our struggle. A poem that 27 years later I too have memorized-still is fitting but resonates on deeper levels. Still striving for equality. to what end?

She shined her LIGHT oh so brightly! My “Seminole buddy” she would say who always could put a smile on my face just with her presence. This one hurts badly! My condolences to her family and to everyone mourning.
We mourn the incredible loss of our beloved assistant coach Brianna Barry. Bri had an unmatched love and joy for life that touched everyone she knew. She will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts. We send our condolences to her family and friends.
