   My name is Stephanie Cooke I am 14. I live in Caldwell Idaho, and go to school in the small town of Notus Idaho at Notus Jr/sr high school. I play volleyball, basketball, and softball. My favorite sport is volleyball. I love your volleyball team. My favorite player is Jordan Larson because she has a killer serve and spike and she’s only a softmore and was just as good as a freshman I also love Sarah Pavin she’s really good I’m so excited to watch you guys play Stanford.

   Good Luck!!!!!
