LAFAYETTE – Spend five minutes at one of Louisiana Women's Basketball's practices and you will hear one voice above all the rest always shouting out words of encouragement.
"Great shot JO!" "Keep pushing Ty!" "Come on AC don't stop now!"
When looking around you would quickly see that junior Kendall Bess is the one hollering out encouragement to all of her teammates as the practice rolls along. It is why she has affectionately become known as the "Team Mom."
"For me it's important to be the one on the team that keeps everyone positive and energized throughout practice and in games," said Bess.
