Beloit’s Brecken Boudreaux recently received the devastating news that she tore her meniscus and won’t be able to play for the majority of her senior season.
It would have been easy for Boudreaux to feel sorry for herself, but she has chosen to be a good teammate instead and be there for the Trojans.
“I know it’s going to be different for me, but I’m looking forward to being there for my team in any way I can,” Boudreaux said. “We lost four really strong college athletes last year, so this season is a big one for reloading and figuring out our new team. I’m excited to see who steps up, how we all come together, and to support my teammates while I recover.”
While the regular season is out for Boudreaux, she is holding onto hope that she can play when it counts.
“I’m staying hopeful that I’ll be cleared to play before the postseason starts,” Boudreaux said. “That’s my biggest goal right now.”
Last season Boudreaux was a key component to Beloit’s state tournament team that finished 38-6. She finished with 273 kills on a 52 percent kill percentage en route to a first team all-league selection.
So if she is able to play at all this season, it will be a huge boost for the Trojans.
“I want to be back on the court when it matters most,” Boudreaux said. “I also want to grow as a leader even when I’m not playing.”
