Penas reaps rewards of hard work

Once again, my immaturity has gotten the best of me. While perusing the local North Dakota newspaper, I found this article. I have highlighted some of the parts that made me giggle.

Apologies to Miss KayLani P., and good luck this season.

Preps plus: Volleyball quarterback, Moorhead senior Penas reaps rewards of hard work

KayLani Penas’ numbers don’t jump off the Moorhead volleyball stat sheet. But the Spuds don’t need to look at statistics to know her value. The senior sets. She hits. She blocks. She leads.

KayLani Penas’ numbers don’t jump off the Moorhead volleyball stat sheet.
But the Spuds don’t need to look at statistics to know her value.
The senior sets. She hits. She blocks. She leads.
“I don’t know if her stats really stick out at you, but she does quite a bit for us,” Spuds coach Char Lien said. “She works and works and does a lot of things right for us.
“She’s our quarterback. She’s the point guard. She sets up the plays.”
Penas had 352 assists going into Monday’s match at Fergus Falls, putting her eighth all-time in school history in that category.
But at 5 feet, 10 inches tall – and left-handed – she’s also dangerous at the net.
She has 78 kills this season with seven solo blocks and 53 block assists.
“I’m pretty comfortable doing everything out there, but I’m probably the most comfortable with setting,” Penas said. “The (varsity) experience from my sophomore year helps, but I was just gaining more strength that year.”
Lien took her time with Penas, adding different facets to her game each season. Penas was just a front-row player as a sophomore, now she does a little of everything.
“She’s matured so much the last three years, and she’s a lot more confident with her decision-making,” Lien said. “It’s like each year we’ve done something with her and said ‘OK, you’ve got that down. Let’s move on to something else now.’ ”
Penas is somewhat of a perfectionist, Lien said, and the senior loves practice because she knows that’s the place where she gets better.
“I enjoy practice,” Penas said. “…I mean, there are times where you’re tired and stressed out, but I usually love going to practice.
“During practice, I have to practice everything, so it can be a lot of work, but I don’t mind that.”
Lien said she knew that Penas was going to be a solid player when she was coming up, and the Spuds have taken the time to groom her into a solid all-around player.
“Having a left-handed, tall setter is unheard off, so when she was coming up through the ranks we were drooling over that fact,” Lien said. “We ask her to do a lot of things, and she’s always wanted to keep getting better.”
This year has been a little different for Penas. Last season, she had two big hitters in Kassie Hooten and Kaitlyn Rogalla.
This year, the balanced Spuds are going to a number of different hitters, meaning Penas is spreading it around a lot more.
“Last year, when you got in trouble, you just went to those two,” Penas said. “This year, people don’t know where we’re going.”
Penas will play volleyball in college at Bemidji State, where she will likely be a right-side hitter. For right now, Lien has been tickled with Penas’ senior year.
“We’re really a team, because we don’t have that one person that really stands out,” Lien said. “But she’s kind of been right in the middle of everything for us. She’s been good.”

Yes, it’s real.

Since Maria didn’t like the creepy breastfeeding video in the previous post, here’s a different take on breastfeeding.

The young lady in the video realized that she was on LIVE TV at the Florida Panthers hockey game and decided to breastfeed the entire crowd.

The semi-pro baseball team St. Paul Saints will be giving away a miniature bathroom stall with a couple of lower legs and feet – a spoof on the airport episode involving Idaho Sen. Larry Craig at the Twin Cities airport last summer – on May 25th. Is it a coincidence that May 25th is also National Tap Dance Day? I think not.
