Cadie Bates

I traveled to Durham, North Carolina to see, Cadie Bates, who plays volleyball for the Duke Blue Devils. I’ve known Cadie since she was 5 years old.
The Blue Devils met Louisville at Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium home. Cadie played Valiantly leading her team, winning the first 2 sets. But the NCAA bound Louisville Cardinals (24-6, 18-2) came back, winning the last 3 sets. I was SO PROUD of Cadie!
After battling injuries in her early career at Duke, Cadie has played Magnificently this year for Duke, with 350 kills and 360 digs, 17 double-doubles, on an injured team. All-ACC Second Team Honors. Truly, a MVP season. She went out with a Big Bang!
Throw out the volleyball success. I’m most proud of Cadie for the Outstanding person she is- her Good Character, her Good Sense of Humor, her Resilient Spirit.
On Senior Day, Duke swept the North Carolina Tar Heels, another great game for Cadie as she led her teammates. On hand were proud Mama and Papa, Mary Lyn and Mike, and Wonderful sister Carlee who also had a great career at Montana. What a proud win for a Wonderful Family!
I am So Proud of All the youngsters, of my practice, who grow into Truly Able Adults!
