CARY – Colleen Smith’s problems at this point in her life – like where and when she might continue her volleyball career – pale in comparison to what she dealt with a year ago.

Smith feels great now. Medical personnel have told Smith she is in remission from Wegener’s granulomatosis, which had started wreaking havoc on her around the time she graduated from Cary-Grove in 2011.

Smith, a 5-foot-11 setter who was recruited by Indiana, is so eager to get back on the court she hardly can stand it. But she needs a place to play.
