"I tell her every season, 'McKenna, I'm really gonna do it this season. I'm gonna sit down like most of the other parents and just clap when you go and be quiet and civilized.' And I just can't help myself!" she shared, laughing."Her voice is so distinct, and I can always hear it in the crowd," she told ESPN."She's a hollerer, for sure."
