Yeates picks UT
Indian Rocks Christian senior Brianne Yeates can’t be positive how far the Eagles will go in the playoffs but one thing’s for sure: where she’ll be playing volleyball next season. Yeates, a Times’ first-team all county selection as a sophomore, committed to the University of Tampa this weekend.
“It’s such a relief,” Yeates said. “For so long I didn’t know where I would be going next year but now it’s set and I’m so excited.”
Yeates was leaning toward Eckerd before taking an official visit to UT two weeks ago.
“Once I saw the campus and the dedication they have to the program, I knew it was right,” Yeates said.
The Spartans are ranked No. 1 in the latest Division II national poll. IRC opens up the playoffs Tuesday night at 7 against visiting Fort Meade.

Great Addition to UT. She'll be very hard to stop on the right side.

Of course Liz wouldn't write that... Just another case of a jealous kid with too much free time on their hands when she/he is supposed to be learning at school. But for the record, thankfully they didn't have computers/ blogs so readily available when I was in school or I would be doing the same thing! Just not making a silly post under someone else's name...
