They worked very hard day in and day out for the entire season and felt ready to conquer it all. Just as Melissa was overcoming everything her illness threw at her, the Hornets felt they could overcome anything their opponents could throw at them.

Melissa would work hard to make trips around the halls with crutches instead of the wheelchair and the team would keep track of her proress and provide enouragement. After many of the games the players would stop by on their way off the field to talk to Melissa. She had a very positive effect on the team all th
