Teddy Bear Inspires Lady Vols

((HT: WBIR-TV))

The HQ covered Andraya Carter during her uber-talented high school career in the Atlanta area at Buford High School. She was, visibly hurting and not fully recovered by title game time as her Buford Wolves team lost to The Lovett School.

Carter went on to Tennessee, but is having to sit out this year because of shoulder problems. But what she has done is combine her love of her sport, her team, and the devastation at her alma mater over the last two years into a team award that gets passed from player to player as they all see what heart has to do with everyday life.

In the form of a teddy bear...

Here's the story through Carter's eyes...

Glad to see that home is never far from Draya's heart...
