“I smile every time I think of KJ. She brought her own brand of fun and light heartedness to every tense situation. I would walk to mound with some serious words of wisdom and she would smile and say “I got this.” And she always did. She earned every accolade that came with her success. Keli Jo had a great career at Central and I am proud to her continuing to coach and teach all the while raising two beautiful children with husband Mark. Congratulations Keli Jo on this great honor”.  Coach Kris Allison
