KATE DOORN
SCHOOL: White sh CLASS: Senior
POSITION: Outside Hitter
Anybody wondering about Kate’s motivation and competitiveness
only needs to look at the large cast covering her arm this winter. Playing in her fourth and nal year of varsity, she helped White sh advance to the Class A state tournament for the second year in a row. In a loser-out match against Billings Central, the Lady Bulldogs faced elimination when Kate dove for a ball and collided with another player. Her extra e ort saved the point but broke her arm. She was rushed to the hospital, where she underwent surgery to have seven screws and a metal plate inserted into her arm. From the hospital, she texted friends and family to follow the volleyball match, and when it
was over, she delivered a heartfelt message to her teammates on speakerphone. “I just told them all I loved them,” she says. “Being my last year, I played for coach (Jackie) Fuller and my teammates. It was a tough ending, but it was an exciting season.”
