As someone who has known Shonda for over 20 years (as her college teammate) this 100% rings true. Her character should never be questioned as it is the model for integrity, heart, work ethic, and competitive drive. She was a world class college and professional athlete who is now instilling these same values into her players. I’ve seen how she coaches and she is special. She connects with her players and drives them to be their absolute best version of themselves, athletically and professionally. Keep shining Shonda! So proud of you and your team’s success.
While she has the support of the community and is proud of her girls’ efforts for the team, she asks adults not to spread negativity and to be helpful to one another.
Lastly, despite all the accusations against her, Wallace thanks her husband, the administration, fans, parents, her excellent staff, and her team for their unwavering support and hard work this season.
