Congratulations to our October 2021 athlete of the month -  Ms. Haylee Reynolds.  Haylee has played every second of every set of every match this season.  She has also played some JV games as there was sometimes a shortage of players.  Haylee, our setter, leads the team in assists.  Despite being a setter, she is in the top half of Kill leaders as well.

She leads the team in Service Aces and also is second in digs.  Needless to say - Haylee does it all - and with a smile on her face.  The picture says it all!  Haylee brings energy to games and just truly loves playing.  Great job, Haylee!  We love ya! ??
