It's hard to believe that seven years have passed since Amy played volleyball at Durango High School. Those were some great memories. She had an amazing high school career and last Friday she was honored in a special ceremony inducting her into the Durango High School Hall of Fame. There are only 5 athletes and 5 coaches in the DHS Hall of Fame and Amy is one of them. The nominations and voting are done by the public, coaches, and media. It was such a great honor.
Amy missed her flight on Friday because there was a terrible accident that stopped traffic on the freeway. She called from the airport upset and not sure what she was going to do as the next flight home was completely booked, in fact overbooked. She really thought that she wasn't going to be able to get here in time for the ceremony, and that she was going to miss the whole thing. Allyn called Southwest and talked to an agent and explained how important it was to get Amy home. The lady was very kind and tried to find any solution. She said she was very sorry, but the plane was completely booked. The she said, "Wait a minute, a seat just opened up right this minute. I am confirming Amy on that flight as we speak." Miracle.for.sure. She made it just in time and it was such an amazing night. Amy felt so honored and we were all so proud of her and grateful that she received that recognition.
Eddy Canonico (NFL Football Player), Amy, and Coach Gomez
Bob Kelly and Kelly O'Quinn were Amy's coaches. They are the best...and will always be our dear friends.
Jennie has always teased Amy that she is the reason Amy even started playing volleyball.
She took Amy to the very first DHS volleyball camp when Amy was about seven.
Both Jennie and Amy have plaques outside the DHS gym for being Athletes of the Year.
I know the picture is blurry...my good camera ran out of batteries right when the evening began, darn it! Amy's banner is the second from the right...it will forever more be hanging from the rafters of her high school gym.
Now, that's pretty cool.
