Terry Pettit Court at Devaney

[GM_Tood]

"John Cook confirmed today that the Nebraska Athletic Department is planning on naming the volleyball court in my honor at the Devaney Sports Center on Friday September 6. The best part of all this is that Nebraska will be hosting Villanova that night and, God willing, the setter for Villanova will be Ms. Emma Pettit. Thanks to John and Villanova Head Coach, Josh Steinbach for creating that surprise for our family."

Statement from Pettit's Facebook page

Congrats to Terry. A well-deserved honor.

Coach Pettit built the culture of volleyball in this state from the ground up. It's high time we honor him in some way. This is cool.

 

[BigRedBuster]

Cool...I'm assuming that is his daughter.

Agreed.

Not too often when a thread is unanimous in thought on HB. This seemed like a no-brainer though.

 

[GM_Tood]

Yeah, definitely well deserved!

Going to be fun tonight.
