Hello KAY PHI YOW! Welcome to our space! I was so moved today after reading all of the emails and listening to countless recollections of how Coach Yow has affected your lives and how much she means to you. I felt so inspired and so uplifted that I did not want it to end. I kept thinking there must be something I could do to keep us all connected and to keep this going. Of course there's always email, facebook and myspace but I thought this would be a really nice place for all of us to come and share stories and stay connected with each other. We really have something special Wolfpack Family and its all because of one person...to some she's a friend..to some she's a sister...to some she's a mother...but to all she's is an example and most importantly she is our leader. Your words were so candid and so special and I hope we can keep this going. I hope that you all will enjoy reading and sharing your thoughts as we once again come together as one family to lift the spirits of our leader of the pack (Coach Yow). Talisha Scates Class of 2002

Hello Wolfpack Family!
I sit here trying to concentrate on my job with tears swelling up in my eyes as I read all the emails from former players, coaches, managers and supporters. In the big scheme of things, it's not about wins and losses or how many banners are hanging from the rafters or how many All-Americans were produced, it's about character, honesty, integrity and leadership. In two words - "Kay Yow". These qualities are what our Coach is all about and what she has passed down to us. What a great example to learn from. I never knew the impact one lady would have on my life (especially at the young age of a college student!), but as I have aged, the lessons she taught all of us have obviously stayed with us forever. We are doctors, educators, coaches and professionals and all because of Coach Yow. I was also one of the players on Coach Yow's first Wolfpack team and I am so proud and honored to be a part of the tradition. Even though we might not know everyone personally, we all have one thing in common and that is the love we share with and for Coach Yow. I too remember the outpouring of love at the Hoops for Hope Weekend in 2007 and all the tears, laughing and sharing all of us did that night. If you have not made plans to be at the Hoops for Hope weekend this year, take 5 minutes out of your day today and make plans to come join us as we celebrate with our Wolfpack Family. We are all in this battle together for the same reason. I too will join in with prayer at 12 noon everyday. I love each and everyone of our WOLFPACK FAMILY. Donna Andrews, Class of 1977
