High School students already have a lot on their plate, but for one Sumner Academy Senior, it was time to take on a new challenge! Keneth Rodriguez Acosta has played volleyball through out high school. This year, Acosta decided to add tennis to the mix. In her first year ever playing, Acosta qualified for the KSHSAA State Tournament. Hard work pays off!
