When askedabouthergoals,it’s prettytelling thatShelbyVeltrop’s answerisallabouttheteam.

Hergoalwasn’ttobetheall-time leading scorer, or toaverageacertain numberofrebounds,orblockacertain numberofshots.Itwastoseethehard worksheandherteammateshadbeen puttingintheprevioustwoseasons turnintovictories.

LedbytheVeltroptwintowers, Morrisonpickeduprightwhereitleft offin2022,startingthisseason strong andtyingforsecond-mostwinsinaseasoninprogramhistory–andthepostseasonaccoladescamerollingin.

“Wereallywantedaregionalchampionship,butdidn’tquitemakeit–but we’restillproudofhowwedidas a team,andthen it’salsoexcitingwhen theseason’sovertoseetheawards cominginforbothCamrynandI,and weevenhadanothergirlonourteam, DianaRobbins,gethonorablemention all-conference;thatwasexcitingtoo,” Veltropsaid.“Youdon’treallywantto say,‘Oh,mygoalistogetfirst-team all-conferenceandmaketheSaukValleyAll-AreaTeamorwhatever,but that’sexcitingtoseewhenithappens, becauseyouworkreallyhardtobe a betterplayerandit’sanicerewardat theend.”

ThefactthatVeltropwasmore focusedonteam-orientedgoalsthan individualhonorswasnosurpriseto anyonearoundher.Infact,Grim would’vebeenshockedifthefirst wordsoutofVeltrop’smouthwhen

askedabouthergoalshadn’tbeen aboutwinninggames.

Withthatattitude,it’seasytosee whytheindividualscoring,reboundingandblocksrecordsweren’tfront andcenterinVeltrop’smind.Infact, shereallyhadnoideawhatthose recordswere,orthatshewaseven closetobreakingthem.

Andnow,evenwhenshe’stheone atopthosecareerlists,it’sstillnot somethingshethinksabouttoomuch.

Evenwithallthegrowthasaplayer andateam,Veltrop’sbiggestjoyofthe lasttwoseasonshasbeenthechanceto playbasketballwithheryoungersister.

EnteringShelby’sjuniorseason, therewaslittledoubtthatCamryn wouldjoin heronvarsity.ButShelby stillrelishedthechancetohelpCamrynadjusttothelevelofplay,somethingsheherselfwentthroughtwoseasonsearlier.

Andtobehonest,shewasalsohappy tohaveanotherpostplayerforopposingdefensestofocuson.

“ItwassohelpfultogetCamryn withus;shehelpsalotwithtakingthe pressureoffofmesometimes,”Veltrop

said.“I’mgoingtomissplayingwith mysisteralot.WhenIthinkabouthigh schoolbasketball,oneofmyfavorite partswasplaying withher.We’rebest friends–wefightalot,too–butwe’re onlytwoyearsapart,sowe’resuper closeonandoffthecourt.Ifeellike I couldpushheralittlebit,andshecould push me toosometimes.Shewouldget kindofmadatmesometimesand wouldn’treallywanttolistentowhat I say,butI’dtellher,‘Camryn,I’molder thanyou,soyou justhavetolisten a littlebit.’

“Butthat’sprobablywhat I’mmost thankfulfor,besideshavingMissGrim forfouryears,isgettingtwoyearsto playwithmysister;Ialsohadmydad onthebenchastheJVcoach,sothat wasprettyexciting,too.I’msothankful thatwehadtwoyearstogether,just verygratefulforthat.”

Theirfather,Todd,wasastandout atRockFalls,andtheirmother,Kelly (néeVenema), was apostplayerat Morrison.Bothgirlshavealready passedorwillpassKellyontheFillies’ all-timecareerlistsforreboundsand blockedshots.
