High School Volleyball Athletes of the Week:
V: Emma Russell - After needing someone to step up and fulfill the role of a middle hitter and blocker, Emma Russel did so without hesitation. She came in aggressive and worked hard to do her job in the front row. She is a great teammate and has been very coachable. Keep it up, Emma!
JV: Bree Tyler
C: Bria Gardner
