I’ve been dreading this post but have been feeling so thankful to have something that makes saying goodbye this hard. Obviously did not get the outcome we wished for, but wow did we get the legacy we wished for. Truly, nobody knows how hard this team worked in the walls of McKinney North. Tireless hours. Grinding through the accountability board (ifykyk). A lot of teams would describe winning as fun, enjoyable, exciting. Which is all true. But the real definition of winning is nasty, unapologetic, dirty, uninhibited. As harsh as it sounds, winning doesn’t care about how you feel or what you want. This team understood that and selflessly put everything we had on the line, regardless of how it affected us. Whatever it took to win. No days off, just work. Together, we were able to achieve what nobody else could. And we did it the right way. Hard, restless work. Every single day for 4 years the goal was to win a State Championship. Our team sacrificed everything for that gold trophy. And when we didn’t earn that, it was a sick feeling. Knowing how bad we wanted it, everything we had poured into that vision. I realized that it wasn’t about the State Championship. It was about the journey. It was about maximizing our potential, maximizing the time we were gifted at McKinney North. It was about the beautiful sisterhoods we developed. It was about impacting our school & community. Proving to ourselves that we are capable of anything through belief. The journey was the dream. And I couldn’t have asked for a better one. What this senior class was able to accomplish from 7th grade all the way to senior year was just incredible. Amazing volleyball players but even better human beings. I’m proud of the legacy we left behind. It’s an unsettling feeling knowing that this chapter is closing. But I’m so thankful it happened. Wouldn’t change a single thing. I will forever hold the memories that were made close to my heart. Especially the ones shared with my Mom. Thank you, @mckinneynorthvb for everything. You were good to me. UNO OUT❤️‍🩹
