Time passes.

Monday night brought with it another Senior Night in another sport.

This time it was volleyball and the beginning of the farewell tour for a group of young women who I sort of find it hard to believe are seniors.

A mere moment ago, it seems, Kacie Kiel, Madeline Strasburg, Monica Vidoni, Hailey Hammer and McKayla Bailey hit high school and I was getting in trouble for referring to one of them (spoiler alert, it was Bailey) as a “Diaper Dandy.”

Now, I’m supposed to believe they’re almost a third of the way through their final tour of duty as Wolves.

Nope. Not buying it. I’ll just pretend they’ll be around forever, photo-bombing each other for a very long time.

Yep. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

End of discussion and … fine, you can have your Senior Night photos if it makes you feel better. Still not buying you’re seniors, though.
