Home may be where the Heart is…but my heart is in Southern California by Brian Thornton

by Brynn Murphy on March 29, 2012

Due to unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances I returned home early from my team in Poland. I had a good time while I was out there and I was able to make a few friends that I know will be friends for life. A few of them I look forward to beating on the court this summer.

TALKIN' VOLLEY by Brian Thornton

by Brynn Murphy on February 24, 2012

When the topic of volleyball is brought up in conversation and being an American professional volleyball player at that, there is really only one idea that I hear repeatedly over and over again (I love a topic sentence where redundancy is King).
