A huge congrats to Savannah Feenstra for being named @wbca1981 honorable mention All-American this season. 😤 We knew the comeback would be epic and we are so so proud of Sav for her tenacity, competitive spirit and determination to get back on the court better than ever!

When people are trying to see how far they can push things, that is the time to let them know that they have already pushed things too far.

We see someone we know… 👀

Dick Bennett’s Biblical Team Concepts
