On Saturday (June 20), the Kellars of Ridgeview got together at what may have been their last family basketball event. Rodney, Teri, Michael, and Lauren have been a basketball family for a long time. Rodney is the 23 year coach of the Ridgeview Mustangs. Teri, his wife plays many roles at the school in addition to a full time position at a local corporation and mom to Michael and Lauren. Michael graduated about 4 years ago and has one semester of student teaching left before getting his degree. That student teaching will take place at Ridgeview Jr. High. Michael has also played baseball during college. He pitches. While attending Ridgeview, Michael was a multi sport student playing basketball and baseball. He's currently being scouted for some major league and independent leagues to continue with the small round ball.
Lauren just graduated from Ridgeview. While there, she was also a multi sport athlete. She practically grew up on the basketball coach, often seen after games playing on the court while waiting for mom and dad to finish up duties before heading home. She also made a place for herself in center field during softball season. Well, softball it is. She has accepted a spot in the outfield for the Illinois State University Redbird softball team beginning next season.
I'm sure to see Rodney and Teri at more Mustang basketball, but it looks like the foursome is also looking to get some sun and dust in their eyes listening to the ting and thunk of the aluminum and maple bats. Best wishes to all.
