Thoughts from Flores-Cloud
“Ana Paula played really well this year at Trinity Valley. They went to the junior college national championship tournament. She’s not only going to bring size and depth, but she is a Brazilian volleyball player which means she’s going to bring attitude and swag. I’m really excited for how fast she can run the offense.”
