Maria’s Last Straw

After a long time coming, Maria Allred is finally on top this year.

“Senior year feels bittersweet.” Allred said.

This dancer and tennis player is excited for what is coming in the future. 

She loves to be involved at South and participates in Newspaper, tennis, Senior Exec. and she dances outside of school. But last year there was one small bump in the road. 

After major hip pains continued to increase for about two years, Allred and her family finally decided to do something about it. When she went to the doctors, she discovered that her femur didn’t fit into her socket right. With two major hip surgeries on the way, she had to take the year off of her favorite activities. 

“I am excited to finally be able to play tennis again this year because I love the relationship that I have with my team,” Allred said.
