Also recognized was Kailey Russell of Columbus. Russell is a 6’0” freshman middle hitter for the Lady Bucs volleyball team. No. 12 Russell led the Lady Bucs this spring, foreshadowing her expected success this fall as a sophomore.
During the fall, Russell recorded 15 aces, 25 blocks and 128 kills. These are her standing stats after suffering from an injury that kept her out through half of the Bucs season.
Coach Hudson said, “Kailey Russell has performed phenomenally this spring. Her dominating middle block and quick hands on the hit have made Kailey a powerhouse at the net. I look forward to having Kailey back this fall to lead our Lady Bucs to the National Tournament!”
Russell received the Most Valuable Player of the spring season this weekend.
