Amanda Dowdy back home as pro beach volleyball returns to Austin

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Amanda Dowdy is back where it all started.
“My dad actually drove us up here a couple hours ago,” Dowdy said. “He was like, ‘You know, Mom and I used to play softball here when you were little?’ I remember that, we used to be here, so that’s pretty cool.”
While it was softball that first brought Dowdy to Krieg Fields in south Austin, it’s beach volleyball that’s bringing her back to the city where she first fell in love
