Posted Aug 19, 2019
Just 8 years old, Kelsie Houston has dreamed of being a Tar Heel. She's now part of the team. Kelsie is one of 30,000 patients in the U.S. with cystic fibrosis, and Team Impact and the UNC volleyball team are helping her serve above the disease. Kelsie, who is from Pittsboro, signed a Letter of Intent as the volleyball team's newest (and shortest) recruit. (ABC 11)
