Letter from Nashville Starlings grandmother

Editor’s note: The following email was sent shortly after Nashville’s Dantriel McWilliams announced Kennetha Wallace and Ceraya Liggett had accepted full-ride scholarships to play volleyball at Cheney University in Pennsylvania.

Dantriel,

I want to thank you again for being the father figure in Ceraya’s life for so long.  Yesterday, I wanted to just shout for joy.  There really wasn’t a dry eye in the house after listening to you, Coach Morrow, Kennetha and Ceraya.  A full scholarship is a wonderful thing.  I am thankful to God for her talents as an athlete, but I thank you and Coach Keshia for having her in the right place at the right time to be offered such a blessing.  I also want to thank Ms. Pam and Mama Morrow as well.  They also showed her a lot of love and guidance.  As her granny, I did the best that I could.  You know what they say, it takes a village……..thanks again and much love!
