Coach Franklin Fisher handed out team awards with Lankford receiving the team MVP award and McKenna Rhea was honored as the team captain.

Individual awards for assists went to Fisher with 312 and Frazier with 240. Most kills went to Lankford with 243 and the most digs was split between Bethany King and Malone.

“I was incredibly proud of this teams improvements over the course of the season,” Fisher said. “We won 7 of our last 10 matches, which showed a growing confidence in each other and an understanding of the basic scheme of things.

“This group of girls finished the season 19-16 and is the best record this program has ever had. We will have all starters returning for next season, which gives this team a lot of hope for the future.”
