The fight to compete with herself to get better and confidence in her ability landed her a humbling position. Crawford will be able to continue her love for the game at the next level. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Kellum for your support over the last four years. You've supported this staff in decision-making and allowed us to complete our job. We love you, and again, thank you!”
