TEAM CAPTAINS
VAN CHANCELLOR (10-17-09):
As you all know, Allison Hightower was one of our captains last year along with Kristen Morris. We went through the summer with Ally being our lone captain but during the off-season it was evident that Nicci Kelly had not only worked hard but has really gained a great deal of respect from her teammates. After a staff meeting, all of our coaches were in agreement that she had earned the right to be a captain along with Ally. We don't pick captains at LSU for the sake of picking captains. We expect these young ladies to be leaders -- and their role is one that is 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The normal fan understands that we want our captains to lead our team at practice and in games but the most important role of our captain is to lead our team when our coaching staff isn't around. They need to lead them in the weight room, at the meal table, on the campus, in the classroom, at the mall -- EVERYWHERE -- ALL THE TIME! And I think we have two captains that our team will be very proud of!
