COACH MOORE ON KELLY
"Kelly appears to really have stepped up and found herself this past spring. She’ll blend well into our needs. She’s the traditional undersized middle that has the ball control to pass. She appears to have found a way to be a major offensive threat in the new system, and we’re hoping the she has a major year in the new program."
