After the Tuesday Daily Demon post describing some of the early morning (before sunrise) activities around the NSU athletic complex, it was good-naturedly pointed out that the Lady Demon volleyball team gets up before the chickens much of the year for practices and spring workouts.
Their former coach was up even earlier for a great reason last Friday. At 2:06 a.m EST, former Lady Demon head coach Leigh Mullins gave birth to her second daughter, Bailey Marie, who was 7 pounds, 13 ounces and 20 inches long upon arrival.
Greeting her were big sister Avery and her dad, Ty, a helicopter pilot. The family lives in North Carolina.
Avery's babysitter in Natchitoches in her infancy was current Lady Demon head coach Brittany Uffelman, who was hired by Mullins as her assistant coach. You can see in the above photo that Avery is really focused on her little sis.
BTW - the extra effort award for Tuesday goes to venerable athletic trainer Ed Evans. It was one thing to be at the office at 4:15 a.m. to begin taping football players for the early morning scrimmage. It was to the other extreme to pinch-hit for his usual baseball trainer and work that night's home baseball game against Centenary. Ed headed home after 9:30 that night.
That's another example of why Ed is usually at the top of the list of people to see when former athletes return to campus to visit.
